Study Notes
Anaerobic Respiration
- Anaerobic respiration occurs when oxygen isn't present for the cell.
- It produces significantly less ATP compared to aerobic respiration.
- It uses electron acceptors other than oxygen (O2).
- Despite not using oxygen as the final electron acceptor, it still employs a respiratory electron transport chain.
