**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Definition of Anaerobic and Aerobic Respiration**: - Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen, while aerobic respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen. 2. **Process of Glucose Breakdown**: - In anaerobic respiration, glucose undergoes incomplete oxidation, meaning it does not break down completely. This results in the production of by-products like lactic acid or ethanol, depending on the organism. - In contrast, aerobic respiration involves the complete oxidation of glucose, leading to the production of carbon dioxide and water. ...
