  1. The glycolysis is common for both the aerobic and anaerobic respiration. They differ only after the completion of glycolysis.
  2. The glucose molecule breaks into two three carbon compound pyruvic acid.
  3. The pyruvic acid enters into krebs cycle, where it completely oxidized in the presence of oxygen. The end products of aerobic respiration are energy, carbonoxide, water molecules etc.
  4. In the anaerobic respiration, the pyruvic acid is incompletely oxidized into carbon dioxide and alcohol.
  5. So, glcolysis is universal reaction for aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Thank you
