What are the differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration? Name some organisms that use the anaerobic mode of respiration.
| Aerobic respiration | Anaerobic respiration | ||
| 1 | Requires O2 | 1 | Does not require O2 |
| 2 | Involves gas exchange with environment | 2 | Gas exchange is absent |
| 3 | Occurs in cytoplasm and mitochondria | 3 | Occurs only in cytoplasm |
| 4 | Releases CO2 and H2O | 4 | End products differ. |
| 5 | Produces 36 ATPs | 5 | Produces 2 ATPs |
Anaerobic respiration is found in waterlogged plant roots, some parasitic worms, animal muscles, and microorganisms like yeasts.
