    Anaerobic respiration is a metabolic pathway that cells can use to break down sugars and generate energy without oxygen. It occurs through glycolysis and fermentation, and produces less ATP than aerobic respiration. Some organisms and human muscles can perform anaerobic respiration under low oxygen conditions.

    Cellular Respiration

    Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway that uses glucose to


    produce Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), an organic compound
    the body can use for energy. Cellular respiration is used to
    generate usable ATP energy in order to support many other
    reactions in the body. ATP is particularly important for
    energetically unfavorable reactions that would otherwise not
    occur without an energy input
    Cellular Respiration

    Aerobic Respiration Anaerobic Respiration

    A chemical process in which oxygen The type of respiration through


    is used to make energy from which cells can break down sugars
    carbohydrates (sugars) to generate energy in the absence
    of oxygen.
    Anaerobic Respiration

    Anaerobic respiration is the type of respiration through which cells


    can break down sugars to generate energy in the absence of
    oxygen. This is in contrast to the highly efficient process of aerobic
    respiration, which relies on oxygen to produce energy.

    Molecular oxygen is the most efficient electron acceptor for


    respiration, due to its high affinity for electrons. However, some
    organisms have evolved to use other final electron acceptors, and
    as such, can perform respiration without oxygen.
    Anaerobic Respiration

    Some organisms like prokaryotes- bacteria


    and archaea-use anaerobic repiration because
    they live in a low oxygen environment. Human
    also uses anaerobic respiration when
    performing vigorous and powerful activities.

    Anaerobic Pathway

    Glycolysis

    Fermentation
    Glycolysis
    Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose into
    pyruvate. The free energy released in this process is used to form
    the high-energy molecules adenosine triphosphate and reduced
    nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. Glycolysis is a sequence of ten
    reactions catalyzed by enzymes.

    The first phase is the "investment" phase due to its usage of two
    ATP molecules, and the second is the "payoff" phase.
    Fermentation
    Fermentation is an anaerobic process in which
    energy can be released from glucose even if oxygen
    is not available.

    Fermentation occurs in yeast cells and bacteria and


    also in the muscles of animals. It is an anaerobic
    pathway in which glucose is broken down.
    Types of Fermentation

    1. Lactic Acid Fermentation

    2. Alcohol Fermentation

    3. Acetic Acid Fermentation


    Lactic Acid Fermentation

    It is a metabolic process by which glucose or


    other six-carbon sugarsare converted into
    cellular energy and the metabolite lactate,
    which is lactic acid in solution.
    Alcohol Fermentation

    In this type of anaerobic respiration, glucose


    is split into ethanol or ethyl alcohol. This
    process also produces two ATP per sugar
    molecule. This occurs in yeast and even in
    some types of fish, such as goldfish.
    Acetic Acid Fermentation

    a process of oxidation in which alcohol is


    converted into acetic acid by the agency of
    bacteria of the genus Acetobacter, especially
    A. aceti (as in the production of vinegar from
    cider or wine)
