For anaerobic respiration: 

Anaerobic respiration is the cellular respiration that does not involve the atmospheric oxygen. It is also called as fermentation. It involves glycolysis where the product of glycolysis i.e. pyruvate is converted to either lactic acid or ethanol and for aerobic respiration. 

1. Aerobic respiration occurs in the presence of free molecular oxygen during oxidation of glucose. 

2. In this type of respiration, the glucose is completely oxidized to CO2 and H2O with release of large amount of energy. It involves glycolysis, acetyl CoA formation (connecting link reaction), Krebs cycle, electron transfer chain reaction and terminal oxidation.
