| Aerobic Respiration | Anaerobic Respiration | |
| Definition | Aerobic respiration uses oxygen. | Anaerobic respiration is respiration without oxygen; the process uses a respiratory electron transport chain but does not use oxygen as the electron acceptors. |
| Cells that use it | Aerobic respiration occurs in most cells. | Anaerobic respiration occurs mostly in prokaryotes |
| Amount of energy released | High (36-38 ATP molecules) | Lower (Between 36-2 ATP molecules) |
| Stages | Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, Electron Transport Chain | Glycolysis, Krebs cycle, Electron Transport Chain |
| Products | Carbon dioxide, water, ATP | Carbon dixoide, reduced species, ATP |
| Site of reactions | Cytoplasm and mitochondria | Cytoplasm and mitochondria |
| Reactants | glucose, oxygen | glucose, electron acceptor (not oxygen) |
| combustion | complete | incomplete |
| Production of Ethanol or Lactic Acid | Does not produce ethanol or lactic acid | Produce ethanol or lactic acid |
