Cellular respiration is the production of energy within a cell. Aerobic respiration requires O2 but is significantly more efficient than anaerobic respiration (without oxygen). In humans we cannot maintain life on anaerobic respiration alone, it is used for short periods of time to maintain small amounts of ATP that are required to begin aerobic respiration.
