Solution: Respiration is a process defined as a movement of oxygen from the outside of the environment into the cell and removal of carbon dioxide from the inner environment of the cell.

Aerobic respiration	Anaerobic respiration
Aerobic respiration is defined as a process where energy is required for the survival of the organism involved in respiration .	Anaerobic respiration is defined as a process where energy is not required to proceed the reaction .
The whole process of respiration take place in the mitochondria and cytoplasm	For the anaerobic process respiration take place inside the cytoplasm only
Gases are exchanged in the form of respiration	Gases are exchanged in the form of respiration except oxygen
Inside the cell food which contain glucose, is broke down into carbon dioxide and water with the help of oxygen	During anaerobic process glucose breaks down into ethyl alcohol, carbon dioxide and energy
All higher organisms have this type of respiration	All lower organisms use this type of respiration
Eg : Mammals	Eg: bacteria, yeast
