Introduction
Anaerobic respiration is a form of cellular respiration that occurs without the prescence of oxygen. The two types of anaerobic respiration processes include lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation. Lactic acid fermentation is the process in which one glucose molecule is converted into two lactic acid molecules and two ATP molecules, usually occurring in muscle cells. Alcoholic fermentation is the process in which one glucose molecule is converted into two ethanol molecules and two ATP molecules, occurring in the prescence of yeast.
Task
