Introduction
Anaerobic Respiration is when cellular respiration proceeds with the use of oxygen. Fermentation is basically another name for anaerobic respiration. Fermentation is when ATP is made without oxygen; this is used to make yogurt, bread, wine, and biofuels. Fermentation is carried out by bacteria, yeasts, and human muscles. There are two types of fermentation: alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation.
Aerobic Respiration is when cellular respiration proceeds in the prescence of oxygen. Aerobic Respiration has three stages: glycolysis, the Kerbs cycle (the citric acid cycle), and Electron transport.
