Less energy produced in anaerobic respiration since food is partially oxidized while in
aerobic respiration food is completely oxidized.
Some metabolic wastes accumulate in cells affecting cellular functions
Ethanol produced in plants poisons the tissues while lactic acid produced in animals
causes muscle fatigue/muscle cramp and may stop muscle contraction
Such intermediate wastes are not produced in aerobic respiration
