The equation for anaerobic respiration is:
glucose ---> lactic acid + carbon dioxide + energy
To know the disadvantages of anaerobic respiration it is best to compare it to aerobic respiration which involves oxygen (glucose + oxygen ---> carbon dioxide + water + energy)
For humans to respire regularly and for long periods of time, oxygen is required. This means that anaerobic respiration through humans causes a lack of oxygen, and cannot be carried out for a very long time.
Lactic acid is also produce and this is toxic and causes things such as cramp to build up.
Anaerobic respiration also produces very little energy compared to aerobic respiration so is not suitable for every day respiration!
Humans will mostly breathe anaerobically in situations such as sprinting in a race.
Under anaerobic conditions, NAD can be recycled through fermentation processes that regenerate NAD+ from NADH. This allows cells to continue glycolysis and produce ATP in the absence of oxygen. Fermentation pathways, such as lactic acid fermentation or alcohol fermentation, are utilized to regenerate NAD for these anaerobic processes.
Anaerobic respiration is carried out by organisms such as bacteria, archaea, and some fungi that can thrive in environments with low or no oxygen. These organisms generate energy through processes like fermentation or anaerobic respiration in the absence of oxygen.
Both aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration are processes that cells use to generate energy from food molecules.
No; fermentation is an alternative metabolic pathway to respiration, not photosynthesis. Both processes (photosynthesis and respiration) have alternative pathways depending on conditions.
The products of aerobic respiration are water and carbon dioxide. The products of anaerobic respiration are carbon dioxide and either lactic acid or alcohol. The waste product of anaerobic respiration is lactic acid (in animals). In plants, ethanol is the waste product.
Processes that do not use oxygen are anaerobic processes. Some examples include fermentation, anaerobic respiration, and certain types of metabolism that occur in environments with low oxygen levels. Anaerobic processes typically produce less energy than aerobic processes.
Fermentation is anaerobic respiration. Glycolysis is part of aerobic respiration. The pathways for both processes, however, are almost identical to each other.
Anaerobic processes occur when there is no oxygen present, such as in anaerobic respiration or fermentation. These processes result in the production of energy without the need for oxygen.
As Anaerobic respiration takes place in two different processes so we have different products according to the process.In the case of alcoholic fermentation (such as in yeast), alcohol (C2H5OH) and CO2 are produced as the main products of anaerobic respiration.In case of lactic acid fermentation (e.g in muscle cells of humans) pyruvic acid is converted into lactic acid (C3H6O3)in anaerobic respiration.
The components of anaerobic respiration include glycolysis, fermentation, and the generation of lactic acid or ethanol as byproducts. Without the presence of oxygen, cells rely on anaerobic processes to produce ATP for energy.
Anaerobic respiration.The process is also called fermentation, but this term is used in different ways by different people. Anaerobic respiration in plants and yeast, for example, is often called ethanol fermentation, and in animals the equivalent process is lactic acid fermentation.

Aerobic respiration liberates the most energy in the form of ATP compared to other cellular processes like anaerobic respiration and fermentation.

Anaerobic respiration is carried out by organisms such as bacteria, archaea, and some fungi that can thrive in environments with low or no oxygen. These organisms generate energy through processes like fermentation or anaerobic respiration in the absence of oxygen.
An anaerobic environment would always have limited or no oxygen present. This can lead to the production of energy through processes such as fermentation or anaerobic respiration by organisms that do not rely on oxygen.
Both aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration are processes that cells use to generate energy from food molecules.
