Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen. This is opposed to aerobic respiration, which occurs in the presence of oxygen. In humans anaerobic respiration produces lactic acid.

Yes. Although glucose is used most commonly in explaining the process of respiration, other nutrients (lipids & proteins) are transformed by respiration as well.
