Answer:
Anaerobic Respiration
Process of anaerobic respiration
The first step of anaerobic respiration is glycolysis, in which a glucose molecule is broken down into two pyruvate molecules, releasing electrons in the process and producing two ATP molecules, the energy of the cells. As oxygen is present during aerobic respiration, some pyruvate molecules go through two other stages that serve to release more electrons, later used to power a very high amount of ATP production. But when, as in the case of fermentation, oxygen is absent, the last two stages are bypassed. Instead, pyruvate is converted into a different byproduct, and carbon dioxide is released as well. In this process, two ATP molecules are produced.
In other scenarios, the cell enters another form of respiration wherein despite the absence of oxygen the process proceeds to certain pathways leading to the use of an electron transport chain passing the electrons down to the final electron acceptor, which may be an inorganic or an organic molecule.
