In: 1

Answer 1

Aerobic refers to processes that require oxygen to produce energy, typically through sustained, low-intensity activities like jogging. Anaerobic, on the other hand, occurs in the absence of oxygen and involves short bursts of intense activity, such as weightlifting or sprinting, relying on alternative energy sources like glycogen.
