Anaerobic respiration
In yeast anaerobic respiration produces ethanol which is Alcohol (Drug). Glucose = (ethanol or lactic acid) + carbon dioxide + energyC6H12O6 = 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 + 2ATP. Anaerobic respiration is the ability of an organism to produce energy in the form of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) without using oxygen.

Answer:
The equation for an aerobic respiration in a yeast cell is:
Glucose→Pyruvic acid→ethanol+carbon dioxide+energy
Here, glucose(C6H12O6) is a 6-C molecule which gets transformed into a 3-C molecule called pyruvic acid. This equation is comman in many cells of all organisms. In a yeast cell, this pyruvic acid breaks down into ethanol(C2H6O), carbon dioxide(CO2) and energy. This is how anaerobic respiration place in a yeast cell and provides energy o the organism.
