For an aerobic reaction to occur, some combination of oxygen (O2) must be present to provide the needed energy for the reaction. An anaerobic event occurs in the absence of oxygen. Usually in some type of vacuum or other O2 depleated environment

An aerobic organism or aerobe is an organism that has an oxygen based metabolism. Aerobes, in a process known as cellular respiration, use oxygen to oxidize substrates (for example sugars and fats) in order to obtain energy.
An anaerobic organism or anaerobe is any organism that does not require oxygen for growth.

Aerobic respiration uses oxygen,releases energy+carbon dioxide+water.
Anaerobic respiration is in the absent of oxygen,produces little engergy,lactic acid or alcohol,carbon dioxide.
