Best Answer

An aerobe is a organism (bacteria generally) that needs oxygen in its environment to conduct its metabolic processes.

An anaerobe is a bacteria that exists in non-oxygenated environments using other reactants to conduct its metabolic processes

Aerobes and anaerobes cannot live in each others environment.

However (there's always a however), facultative organisms like yeast can live in either circumstance - yeast produces CO2 in aerobic environments and alcohol in anaerobic environments
