Study Notes
Anaerobic Respiration
- Two main types: anaerobic cellular respiration and fermentation
- Anaerobic cellular respiration produces lactic acid as a byproduct, along with a small amount of ATP
- The process converts glucose to lactic acid, generating only 2 ATP.
- Fermentation is a separate anaerobic process, and is different from anaerobic cellular respiration.
- During strenuous exercise, insufficient oxygen limits aerobic respiration.
- Consequently, anaerobic respiration steps in to produce ATP.
- Anaerobic respiration converts glucose into lactic acid.
