Cellular respiration without oxygen, involving incomplete breakdown of glucose and transferring much less energy than aerobic respiration.
Revise: Aerobic and Anaerobic RespirationCells can also transfer energy from glucose without oxygen. This is anaerobic respiration. Unlike aerobic respiration, it involves incomplete breakdown, or incomplete oxidation, of glucose.
- Revise: Response to Exercise
Respiration that transfers energy from glucose without using oxygen. In muscle cells, it produces lactic acid.
