A fermentation process is used to make yogurt. Milk contains the sugar lactose; and some bacteria will ferment lactose to produce lactic acid. the lactic acid clots the milk protein, and give the yogurt its sour taste. Fermentation is just another name for anaerobic respiration.

Which Dairy products results in anaerobic respiration?

Dairy products like yogurt and cheese result from anaerobic respiration, specifically through the fermentation process carried out by lactic acid bacteria. During fermentation, these bacteria convert lactose (the sugar in milk) into lactic acid, which gives yogurt and cheese their characteristic tangy flavor and texture. This process occurs in the absence of oxygen, allowing the bacteria to thrive and produce these dairy products.
