Question
What are the differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration? Name some organisms that use the anaerobic mode of respiration.###Differentiate between Aerobic respiration and Anaerobic respiration.

Answer

Aerobic respiration Anaerobic respiration
1.O2 is used in this process.1.O2 is not used in this process.
2.At the end of this process CO2 and H2O are produced.2.At the end of this process in medium of plant origin Ethanol and CO2 are produced and in medium of animal origin only lactic acid is produced and no CO2.
3.In aerobic respiration complete oxidation of glucose molecules occurs, in which one mole of glucose on oxidation releases much greater energy.3.In anaerobic respiration glucose molecules are incompletely oxidized, so one mole of glucose releases less energy along with the organic by - products.
4.There are two phases in aerobic respiration, the first phase occurs in the cytoplasm and does not utilize O2. The second phase occurs in the mitochondria and utilizes O2.4.There is only one phase in anaerobic respiration. It occurs in the cytoplasm. It occurs entirely in the absence of O2.
Name of organisms that use the anaerobic mode of respiration : Yeast and some other fungi, certain bacteria, endoparasites.
