Aerobic respiration is the most efficient method of providing energy in presence of the oxygen .It present in both organisms plants and animals and numerous micro organisms.During the process both th sugars are completely degraded through a series of enzymatic reactions .The following the the following characteristics of the   anaerobic respiration :

Need for Air:The mitochondria of the cell require oxygen to function as cell electron acceptor  in electron transport chain.
Energy production:During aerobic respiration is significant for adenosine triphosphate( ATP) is produced when glucose is completely oxidised,between 36 and 38 ATP  molecules are produced.
The by products are CO2 and H2O the electron transfer result to water while CO2 is release as byproduct.
Anaerobic respiration  is metabolic process that occur in absence  or law level of oxygen mostly used by bacteria.The electron acceptor is SO4 it used such as Alcohol fermentation.It produce law level energy it require oxygen as the electron acceptor.

Aerobic respiration requires the presence of oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not. Aerobic respiration produces a significantly larger amount of ATP (energy) than anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration generally produces waste products such as lactic acid or alcohol.

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to break down glucose into ATP, while anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen, producing lactic acid or ethanol and less ATP.
