Hi dear here is ur answer ✌✌
There are three ways of anaerobic breakdown of glucose. First step is breakdown of glucose molecule into pyruvate which takes place in cytoplasm.
The anaerobic breakdown in bacteria is called fermentation. During fermentation pyruvate is broken down to ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide.
When there is lack of oxygen in our muscle cells pyruvate is broken down to lactic acid.
Very less amount of energy is released in both the above cases.
The aerobic breakdown takes place in presence of oxygen.
i hope it helps u buddy ✌✌

•...In the very first stage the Glucose which is a 6-carbon molecule is breaks into pyruvate which is a 3-carbon molecule in the cytoplasm.
•... After that they are broken down by three different pathways to release energy.
••......(i) In the absence of oxygen in Yeast.
(ii) In the lack of Oxygen in Human Muscles.
(iii) In the presence of oxygen in mitochondria.
