What is anaerobic respiration and its process?
Respiration is a process through which energy is released from glucose or another organic chemicals. As such, it is significant for the survival of all living organisms, whether human beings or microscopic bacteria. It serves two fundamental purposes in living beings: first is the removal of the electrons generated during catabolism and second, is generation of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). But respiration occurs in two different ways, namely, aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic respiration is oxygen-based cellular respiration that uses oxygen to generate energies through the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Anaerobic respiration, on the other hand, is cellular respiration that takes place without oxygen and begins the breakdown process using electron acceptors and instruments, but does not use oxygen.
