I'm not allowed/I'm not going to do your work for you, but I'll leave some quotes/websites below that will help you. aerobic respiration: (noun) the process of converting the biochemical energy in nutrients to ATP in the presence of oxygen https://www.boundless.com/definition/aerobic-respiration/ "Certain prokaryotes, including some species of bacteria and archaea, use anaerobic respiration. For example, the group of archaea called methanogens reduces carbon dioxide to methane to oxidize NADH. These microorganisms are found in soil and in the digestive tracts of ruminants, such as cows and sheep. Similarly, sulfate-reducing bacteria and archaea, most of which are anaerobic , reduce sulfate to hydrogen sulfide to regenerate NAD+ from NADH." https://www.boundless.com/biology/textbooks/boundless-biology-textbook/cellular-respiration-7/metabolism-without-oxygen-77/anaerobic-cellular-respiration-365-11591/ "If oxygen is present in the cell, then the cell can subsequently take advantage of aerobic respiration via the TCA cycle to produce much more usable energy in the form of ATP than any anaerobic pathway." http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/biology/celres.html#c2 more websites: - http://scienceline.ucsb.edu/getkey.php?key=2575 - http://www.ck12.org/user:dGVycnlyQHZhbGxleTI2Mi5vcmc./section/Anaerobic-Respiration-%253A%253Aof%253A%253A-Photosynthesis-and-Cellular-Respiration/
