| The breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen to produce more amount of energy is called as aerobic respiration. |
The breakdown of glucose in the absence of oxygen to produce energy is called as anaerobic respiration. |
| Chemical Equatio- nGlucose + Oxygen gives Carbon dioxide +water + energy |
Chemical Equation- Glucose gives Lactic acid + energy |
| It occurs in The cytoplasm to mitochondria. |
Takes place in cytoplasm only. |
| The high amount of energy is produced. |
Less amount of energy produced. |
| 38 ATP released. |
2 ATP released. |
| Carbon dioxide and water. |
Lactic acid (animal cells), carbon dioxide and ethanol (plant cell). |
| Oxygen and glucose to produce energy. |
It does not require oxygen but uses glucose to produce energy. |
1. Glycolysis - also called Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas(EMP) pathway.
2. The respiratory chain (electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation).
3. The tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA), also known as the citric acid cycle or Krebs cycle. |
1. Glycolysis.
2. Fermentation |
| Complete |
Incomplete. |
| It is a long process for the production of energy. |
It is a fast process in comparison to aerobic respiration. |
| Aerobic respiration occurs in many plants and animals (eukaryotes). |
Anaerobic respiration occurs in human muscle cells (eukaryotes), bacteria, yeast (prokaryotes), etc. |
