2.36 anaerobic respiration

1. Anerobic respiration= respiration without oxygen.
2. This is also an enzyme reaction
3. It takes place in the cytoplasm only
4. It results in the production of molecule known as lactic acid.
5. Glucose---------Lactic acid +energy (less energy than anaerobic)
6. As lactic acid accumulates, it causes fatigue, known as 'lactic' fatigue.
7. anaerobic respiration in plant works the same way but produces different products such as ethanol, carbon dioxide and energy. Ethanol and carbon dioxide are forms of wastes.
8. In yeast, ethanol and carobin dioxide are involved in fermentation
