Aerobic Respiration-means a cellular respiration process in which glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce energy. This energy is used in various body functions. It usually occurs in plants, animals, humans and other mammals also. It has mainly three stages-

• Glycolysis

• Krebs’s cycle

• Electron Transport Chain

Anaerobic Respiration-As the name says this type of respiration takes place without oxygen as oxygen is not required to break the glucose into energy. It usually occurs in unicellular organisms like bacteria fungi, protozoa etc.
