anaerobic respiration

anaerobic respiration doesnt not involve oxygen

its not very efficent as it only makes alittle bit of energy, this is because glocuse isnt broken down fully , this produces a bulid of of lactic acid which is toxic for humans. if there is a build up , muscle stop working,to remove lactic acid we need oxyen, the amount of oxyen needed required to break down lactic acid is called oxyen debt

areobic repiration in humans

glucose --->lactic acid+energy

4 of 5

anerobic respiration in plants

glucose------>ethonal+energy
