What is the difference between Areobic and Anaerobic Respriation

Areobic Respiration requires oxygen to release energy, producing water and carbondioxide as waste products according to equation belowC6H1206 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H20Areobic respriation occurs in the mitochondria of a cell. Anaerobic respiration (in animals) can occur without oxygen to release energy producing lactic acid as a waste product C6H12O6 → 2C3H6O3Anerobic respriation in yeast and plants produces ethanol and carbon dioxide;-glucose → ethanol + carbon dioxideC6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH + 2C02This is used in the brewing or alcohol production
