Erythrocytes (red blood cells) have no cellular organelles - they have pushed all of them out to make more room for hemoglobin to carry oxygen. Therefore, the RBC must rely on anaerobic respiration for its energy needs because it gave up the mitochondria that would have performed aerobic respiration.

With out oxygen there is only aerobic respiration?
No. Aerobic respiration is WITH oxygen. ANaerobic is without. Generally anaerobic process is fermentation, but that doesn't produce nearly as much ATP, and is therefore unfavorable for anything big, like people or animals.
What is the major difference between anaerobic respiration and aerobic respiration?
anaerobic respiration it does not require oxygen to survive,but only CO2 requiring whereas aerobic does require oxygen
How are aerobic and anaerobic respiration similar?
Aerobic respiration occurs in the presence oxygen and creates a maximum of 38 ATP, while anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen and creates a maximum of 2 ATP. aerobic respiration has both substrate level and oxidative phosphorylation while anaerobic respiration has only substrate level phosphorlyation. also, but use glycolysis. in anaerobic respiration, the final electron acceptor is an organic molecule such as pyruvate or acetaldehyde, but in respiration, the final acceptor is oxygen.
What is the amount of ATP produced in aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
how many total ATP's come out of aerobic and anaerobic respiration
Does anaerobic respiration release energy?
Anaerobic respiration does release energy, but it only releases about 1/17 of the energy as aerobic respiration (2 ATP vs. 38 ATP generated). Some bacteria live entirely off of anaerobic respiration (oxygen might even kill them), but people cannot do so.
Does anaerobic respiration take place inside the mitochondria?
Anaerobic Respiration occurs only in the absence of Oxygen.

What are the advantages if any of anaerobic respiration?
The only advantage of anaerobic respiration is that it releases energy at intervals. This is unlike aerobic respiration which will emit all energy at once.
Does anaerobic respiration only occur in bacteria?
No, anaerobic respiration occurs in the cells of your body. glucose = lactic acid + oxygen (sugar)
Advantages and disadvantages of anaerobic respiration?
An advantage of anaerobic respiration is that it does not need oxygen. A disadvantage is that only small amounts of energy are produced.

How does respiration differ from cellular respiration?
fermentation is entirely anaerobic wheras cellular respiration only has 1 out of 3 stages that is anaerobic, the other 2 being aerobic (need oxygen to carry out rweactions. from this you can tell what anaerobic must mean:) i hope this helps:D
Anaerobic respiration requires low levels of oxygen?
Anaerobic respiration occurs only in the absence of O2. When O2 is present, aerobic processes take over; so it can be said that O2 'poisons' anaerobic biochemistry.
What is the amount of ATP produced in aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
how many total ATP's come out of aerobic and anaerobic respiration
Does anaerobic respiration release energy?

What is the difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs in terms of whether the cells perform photosynthesis and or cellular respiration?
Autotrophs perform both respiration and photosynthesis. Heterotrophs perform only respiration
