I'm trying to understand the differences between then and what they are but all I'm getting is that aerobic respiration involves oxygen and anaerobic doesn't

can you explain them to me- as if I were a child,lol
I literally think that's the only way I'll understand it.

Aerobic respiration involves all stages of respiration including
Glycolysis
Link reaction
Citric acid cylce (sometimes known as the krebs cycle)
Electron transport chain
The products of this is carbon dioxide and water.
Generates 36-38ATP, most of these are created in the Electron transport chain.

Anaerobic only envolves:
Glycolysis- generates 2 ATP per molecule
This is why it produces so much less ATP
anaerobic respiarion produces lactate (otherwise known as lactic acid) in humans.
it produces ethanol and carbon dioxide in plants.

Aerobic=involving Oxygen
Anaerbic=no oxygen

Say you sprint 100 meters as fast as you can, your body takes a few seconds to catch up with you and increase you blood flow, respiration rate, etc. During this time, your muscles need energy, so they do a special kind of respiration that doesn't require oxygen( anaerobic), but creates lactic acid. This is why it burns when you do this. Aerobic respiration would be if you go for a long walk. Your body can pump enough blood, and therefore your muscles have oxygen for much more effecient aerobic respiration.
