Anaerobic respiration occurs because aerobic respiratory only produces a small amount of ATP (2 ATP) and because oxygen is consumed quickly in tissues. Anaerobic respiration produces a high amount of ATP and is particulary important in tissues such as muscles during streneous exercise.

What would happen if we did not have anaerobic respiration?
Nothing! as we are aerobes and need oxygen for respiration.
Which set of pairings correctly matches the process with its condition?
cellular respiration: anaerobic:: fermentation :anaerobic
What is the name of the process of resperation that does not require oxygen?
anaerobic respiration there is also fermentation, which is like anaerobic respiration but does not have an electron transport chain
What happens in respiration reactions if no oxygen is present?
This is when anaerobic respiration takes place. It is respiration without using oxygen. However, when anaerobic respiration takes place, lactic acid is produced and accumulates until the muscles cannot work any more. This is why anaerobic respiration can not happen for very long. After anaerobic respiration, the person usually has to breathe heavily in order to break down the lactic acid and to 'pay back the oxygen debt'.
Aerobic respiration anaerobic respiration and fermentation are?
Anaerobic respiration is not the same as fermentation, although it does happen in the absence of oxygen unlike aerobic respiration which is when glucose and oxygen react to create carbon dioxide, water and energy. Basically, aerobic respiration is what animals do to gain energy and it is the opposite of photosynthesis.
What is anaerobic respiration and give two examples of anaerobic respiration?
the mode of respiration in the absence of air ,more precisely oxygen is called anaerobic respiration. eg:-yeasts
What is the meaning of aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and Anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen!
How are steps of cellular respiration different when it is anaerobic respiration?
Anaerobic means without air, so there is no respiration.
What gas does anaerobic respiration lack?
Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen.
Anaerobic respiration is most common in?
Anaerobic respiration is most common in microorganisms.
Is anaerobic respiration a blessing or curse?
what are the cause is anaerobic respiration in bacteria and fungi
What are the possible events that could happen after glycolysis?
It either undergoes Anaerobic or Aerobic Cellular Respiration.
