(b) What is the main difference between aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration ? Give one example of each.
(c) What type of respiration takes place (i) in yeast, and (ii) in humans ?

(b)
Aerobic respiration Anaerobic respiration
(i) It takes place in the presence of oxygen. (i) It takes place in the absence of oxygen.
(ii) It produces a considerable amount of energy. (ii) Lesser energy is produced during this process.
(iii) The end products are carbon dioxide and water. (iii) The end products are ethanol and carbon dioxide (in yeast) and lactic acid (in animal muscles).
(iv) Complete breakdown of food occurs during aerobic respiration (iv) Partial breakdown of food occurs during anaerobic respiration.
