Answer:
•Anaerobic respiration transfers energy from glucose to cells.
•It occurs when oxygen is not present.
•It transfers large amounts of energy quickly.
In anaerobic respiration, glucose breaks down without oxygen. The chemical reaction transfers energy from glucose to the cell. Anaerobic respiration produces lactic acid, rather than carbon dioxide and water. Unfortunately this can lead to painful muscle cramps.

Answer
Anaerobic respiration :-
- The breakdown of glucose is done in the form of respiration. If the breakdown of glucose is done in the absence of oxygen i.e, if they doesn't use oxygen then they are said to be anerobic respiration.
- We can understand the meaning of anerobic respiration easily by this method, 'an' means without, 'aero' means air and 'bic' means life.
The equation of anaerobic respiration
Anerobic respiration in muscles :-
- When we exercise, our muscles require more energy than usual. Humans require oxygen to perform aerobic respiration. However, during exercise, the supply of oxygen we get is not enough to fulfill the cell's needs.
- So, the cells in the affected muscles switch to perform anaerobic respiration for a short period of time. In the absence of oxygen, glucose is breaken down into lactic acid and energy.
