(Anaerobic) Cellular Respiration

Anaerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration that occurs without oxygen, breaking down glucose to produce energy (ATP) along with byproducts like lactic acid or ethanol. There are two main types of anaerobic respiration: alcohol fermentation, which produces ethanol and carbon dioxide, and lactic acid fermentation, which produces lactic acid. Both processes release energy but yield less than aerobic respiration.

ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION

FERMENTATION
ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION
A type of cellular respiration that occurs without
the presence of oxygen. In this process, cells break
down glucose to produce energy (ATP) and produce
byproducts such as lactic acid or ethanol,
depending on the organism.
Unlike aerobic respiration, it produces less energy.
It's used by certain cells and organisms when
oxygen is unavailable or in short supply.
ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION
During this process, glucose (a type of sugar) is
broken down to produce energy in the form of
ATP (the cell's energy currency), but it also
produces waste products like alcohol or lactic
acid.
This is different from aerobic respiration,
where the waste product is carbon dioxide and
water.
2 MAIN TYPES
01 Alcohol Fermentation

02 Lactic Acid Fermentation


ALCOHOL FERMENTATION
ALCOHOL FERMENTATION
Is carried out by yeast
cells. In this process, glucose
is broken down into ethanol
(alcohol) and carbon dioxide
(CO₂), releasing energy.
ALCOHOL FERMENTATION
Pyruvate, the end product of
glycolysis is broken down into
alcohol and carbon dioxide. Wine
and beer are produced by alcoholic
fermentation.
ALCOHOL FERMENTATION
Pyruvate ->
alcohol and
carbon dioxide
ALCOHOL FERMENTATION
Yeast cells convert glucose into
pyruvate (a 3-carbon molecule)
through glycolysis.
In the absence of oxygen, the
pyruvate is then converted into
ethanol and carbon dioxide.
ALCOHOL FERMENTATION
Glucose→
Ethanol + Carbon
dioxide + Energy
(ATP)
LACTIC ACID FERMENTATION
LACTIC ACID FERMENTATION

Occurs in certain bacteria (like


those in yogurt and cheese) and in
human muscle cells, especially
during intense exercise when oxygen
is not available.
Glucose -> lactic acid
LACTIC ACID FERMENTATION
Just like alcohol fermentation, glucose
is broken down into pyruvate in the
process called glycolysis.
In this process, instead of producing
ethanol, the pyruvate is converted into
lactic acid (also known as lactate), and
energy is released.
LACTIC ACID FERMENTATION

Glucose→
Lactic acid +
Energy (ATP)
