Aerobic Respiration Anaerobic Respiration
$(1)$ In aerobic respiration,there is complete oxidation of substrate molecules,leading to a higher yield of $ATP$ molecules. $(1)$ In anaerobic respiration,there is incomplete oxidation of substrate molecules,resulting in a significantly lower yield of $ATP$ molecules.
$(2)$ Aerobic respiration of one molecule of glucose typically produces $36$ to $38$ $ATP$ molecules,along with $H_{2}O$ and $CO_{2}$. $(2)$ Anaerobic respiration (fermentation) of one molecule of glucose,for example in yeast,produces only $2$ $ATP$ molecules,along with ethanol and $CO_{2}$.
