Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of anaerobic cellular respiration?
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of anaerobic cellular respiration?
- It results in the formation of lactic acid.
- It requires the presence of sunlight. (correct)
- It occurs in the absence of oxygen.
- It produces a relatively small amount of ATP.
What is the main difference between anaerobic cellular respiration and fermentation?
What is the main difference between anaerobic cellular respiration and fermentation?
- Anaerobic cellular respiration uses oxygen, while fermentation does not.

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.
