What is Aerobic Respiration?
Aerobic respiration is the main means by which both plants and animals utilize energy in the form of organic compounds that was previously created through photosynthesis

Aerobic is with air, anaerobic is without air, so anaerobic respiration would not include O2.

Aerobic respiration yields many more ATPs per cycle than does aerobic respiration. I believe aerobic respiration produces 36ATP per glucose molecule whereas anaerobic only produces 2.

Aerobic respiration yields carbon dioxide, water, and a lot of ATP.
Anaerobic respiration yields either carbon dioxide and alcohol or lactic acid, depending on the type of fermentation involved. Either way, there is a small net gain of ATP … only 2.

in the absence of oxygen, one glucose molecule will make 2 ATP and 2 NADH.H+, which is 6 ATP and either ethanol or lactic acid
in conclusion, it’s pretty useless and inefficient for an organism like a human, who requires way more energy than that, for a bacteria it’s fine
with oxygen one glucose molecule will make 6 ATP, 2 FADH2, 6 NADH.H+, which is a total of 40 ATP, but about 4 ATP are used in the entire process so there is about a net of 36 ATP
so aerobic respiration is way more efficient than anaerobic respiration

Fermentation is anaerobic though for facultative organisms, molecular oxygen does not poison the system and they can grow aerobically. Molecular oxygen generally poisons obigately anaerobic systems, so they do not grow aerobically.
Respiration can be either aerobic or anaerobic, though most are aerobic. That simply means that during the production of energy and reducing power, there is a constant exchange of electrons that utimately must be placed somewhere. Respiration places those electrons on inorganic molecules such as oxygen when it is aerobic. If molecular oxygen is not available, some bacteria can place those electrons on other inorganic molecules such as nitrate and can then grow in an “anaerobic.” That is anaerobic respiration.
Aerobic respiration produces water and carbon dioxide and waste products. Anerobic respiration waste products would depend on the inorganic electron acceptor. This is not fermentation.
