      Before I write the answer I must confess that I had forgotten the chemical equation for anaerobic respiration, so I had to look it up. Anyway,
      Aerobic respiration: 1 mole of Glucose + 6moles of Glucose -> 6 moles of Carbon dioxide and 6 moles of water + energy in the form of ATP
      Anaerobic respiration: 1 mole of Glucose breaking into 2 moles of Lactic acid + energy in the form of ATP

      I used to know that when I was at school but I’m afraid I had to google it today!
      Aerobic respiration is 1 mole of Glucose + 6moles of Oxygen -> 6 moles of Carbon dioxide, 6 moles of water and energy
      Anaerobic respiration is 1 mole of Glucose breaking into 2 moles of Lactic acid and energy
