Anaerobic Respiration | Human Physiology

The below mentioned article provides a quick note on the Anaerobic Respiration. When oxygen is used for respiration, it is called aerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration involves two phases: (i) External respiration: It is simply the intake of oxygen from the surrounding medium and giving out of carbon dioxide into the surrounding medium, (ii) Internal respiration: This involves three steps: (a) [...]

Anaerobic Respiration: Breakdown of Pyruvic Acid in the Absence of Oxygen | Plants

Let us make an in-depth study of the anaerobic respiration. As the reactions of glycolysis do not require oxygen, pyruvic acid is formed as in aerobic respiration. When sufficient oxygen is not available, the citric acid cycle and ETS cannot operate. Under such conditions metabolism of pyruvic acid may proceed anaerobically (i.e., without oxygen). As the reactions of glycolysis do [...]
