Anaerobic, connotatively translated, means "without oxygen". When used in discussions about Biology, the adjective has been applied most commonly to specific types of bacteria that do not need oxygen to carry out basic biological processes. Bacteria that are able to function without oxygen are called "anaerobes" Yeasts in beer and wine are usually anaerobic in nature and cause fermentation. The title "Anaerobic" can also be applied to environments in which there is little or no oxygen, such as a lake that has a low Dissolved Oxygen content. Anaerobic exercise involves movements that drain muscle tissues of oxygen, creating lactic acid accumulation. This accumulation leads to an oxygen debt that needs to be repaid after exercise. It does not mean that you hold your breath while you run on a treadmill!!

∙ 12y agoIt is the production of usable energy (ATP). It does not use oxygen to convert the food you eat into energy. This method doesn't make as much energy as aerobic respiration (with oxygen) but it important if the body doesn't have access to oxygen.

How would life on earth be different if the plants cells did not have chloroplasts?
No oxygen will be produced. So life will be anaerobic
Latic acid fermentation is useful in living creatures because?
Lactic acid fermentation is basically anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration is respiration which takes place in the absence of oxygen. Thus, it is a way of life in anaerobic organisms. Even in aerobic organisms, anaerobic respiration takes place when the concentration of oxygen is low. Thus it also helps anaerobic organisms to survive.
