Anaerobic Respiration
- No oxygen required!
Quick Review
 Requires no oxygen
 Takes place in the cytoplasm
 Many used by bacteria and yeast…… simple
organisms
 STEPS
 Glycolysis
 Finishing step
Products
 If yeast……

Can produce ethyl alcohol / ethanol
C6H12O6  2C2H5OH + 2CO2 + 2ATP
1. Glycolysis – “breaking glucose”
 Starts with glucose
 Ends with 2 –
pyruvic acids
 Also makes
2 ATP net
2. Finishing Step
 Converts pyruvate to ethanol
OR ……..
 Lactic Acid which causes soreness and
muscle fatigue
Bacterial Fermentation
 Forms acetic acid
or
 vinegar
