In aerobic exercise, the energy used comes primarily from aerobic metabolic processes which use oxygen to process the "fuel" being metabolized. This is in contrast to anaerobic exercise where the energy used comes primarily from metabolic processes that do not require separate oxygen.
Aerob means air, and anaerob means without air. So anaerobic excercise means excercise without air.
Anaerobic
anaerobic exercise is an exercise whereby an an individual is active in the absence of oxygen.

Aerobic exercise is exercise with oxygen, in other words, exercise that gets you breathing hard by utilizing your cardiovascular system. Running, jogging, swimming, and walking are examples of aerobic exercise. Anaerobic exercise is exercise without oxygen, in other words, exercise that does not get you breathing hard. Doing a single squat or bench press are examples of anaerobic exercise. Actually, every exercise is at least slightly aerobic or slightly anaerobic. Also, many anaerobic exercises can be made aerobic simply by doing more of them, for example, doing 50 bench presses or squats without pausing.

EPOC ( excess post-exercise oxygen consumption) is used for the recovery of both anaerobic & aerobic metabolism. The more anaerobic or intense the exercise is, the greater the oxygen deficit is and therefore the more EPOC is required to return the body to a pre-exercise state.
You are more likely to get cramps during anaerobic exercise than during aerobic exercise. This is because your muscles are lacking oxygen.
An activity or exercise is anaerobic if it is intense enough to trigger lactic acid production.

it can produce energy in the presence and absence of oxygen unlike aerobic exercise which can only produce energy in the presence of oxygen
Aerobic exercise requires oxygen, anaerobic exercise does not. Aerobic exercises include walking, running, swimming, and jumping rope.
