Answer 1

Explanation:

Anaerobic respiration is respiration using electron acceptors other than molecular oxygen (O2). Although oxygen is not the final electron acceptor, the process still uses a respiratory electron transport chain.[1]

In aerobic organisms undergoing respiration, electrons are shuttled to an electron transport chain, and the final electron acceptor is oxygen. Molecular oxygen is a highly oxidizing agent and, therefore, is an excellent electron acceptor. In anaerobes, other less-oxidizing substances such as Sulphate (SO42−), Nitrate (NO3−), Sulphur (S), or Fumarate are used. These terminal electron acceptors have smaller reduction potentials than O

Answer 2

Answer:

Anaerobic respiration is the process of creating energy without the presence of oxygen.

Sometimes the body can’t supply the muscles with the oxygen it needs to create energy – such as in a sprinting situation. Without the process of anaerobic respiration there may be no energy supplied to muscles in times of high demand.
