Key Stage 3
Meaning
Anaerobic Respiration is the process of releasing stored chemical energy from sugars by breaking them down without Oxygen present.
About Aerobic Respiration
- In animal cells and plant cells and bacteria anaerobic respiration produces Lactic Acid.
- In yeast anaerobic respiration produces ethanol which is Alcohol (Drug).
- When bacteria or yeast use anaerobic respiration in food it is called fermentation.
