How To Understand Aerobic And Anaerobic Respiration

Education : Biology

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen in order to generate energy. This is the typical respiration that occurs in cells. In contrast, anaerobic respiration, is respiration that does not use oxygen at all.

One common oxidation reaction is that of glucose, which is shown below:

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy.

An example of anaerobic respiration would be the fermentation process.
