The anaerobic pathway cellular respiration is known as glycolysis. In glycolysis, glucose molecules are broken down into two pyruvate molecules.
Glycolysis is the only stage of cellular respiration which can occur without oxygen. The theoretical yield of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is 2 molecules for this first stage.
Fermentation
In anaerobic metabolism, the primary fuel used is glucose. During anaerobic respiration, glucose is broken down into energy (ATP) and lactic acid or ethanol, depending on the specific pathway used by the organism.
All organisms perform cellular respiration, which involves the breakdown of glucose to release energy in the form of ATP. This process occurs in the mitochondria of cells and is essential for the survival of all living organisms.
The metabolic pathway that yields the greatest amount of ATP via cellular respiration is anaerobic glycolysis. Anaerobic glycolysis is the transformation of glucose to pyruvate when limited amounts of O2 are available.
Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway common to both aerobic and anaerobic processes of sugar breakdown. It is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate. All organisms produce a high energy compound ATP by releasing energy stored in glucose and other sugars.
Fermentation
Aerobic and anaerobic. Determined by the availability of oxygen to the cells.
Cellular respiration produces CO2 and water as by-products of the metabolic pathway.

The presence of oxygen. Eg if there is oxygen the it will be aerobic respiration, if there isn't oxygen then it will be anaerobic respiration.
No, because the electron acceptor is what cates the electrons as the leave the electron transport chain, which is oxygen in aerobic respiration. Since aerobic respiration uses oxygen, and anaerobic fermentation is abest of oxygen, anaerobic fermentation cannot possibly use oxygen as respiration does.

anaerobic respiration
The aerobic pathway produces more energy than the anaerobic pathway. Aerobic respiration generates a much higher yield of ATP molecules from glucose compared to anaerobic fermentation. Anaerobic metabolism is a less efficient process that produces ATP without the use of oxygen.
