Aerboic respiration requires oxygen wheras anaerboic respiration does not. Because of this, glucose does not fully break down, resulting in there being much less energy produced. The end products are also different, in every living organism water and carbon dioxide are produced in aerobic respiration, whereas in anaerobic respiration, animals produce lactic acid, while plants and micro-organisms procude ethanol.
