Anaerobic Respiration is the respiration carried out in the absence of oxygen and the fuel molecules are partially broken down.
I Step – glycolysis same as 4,
II step – Anaerobic breakdown of glucose.
Glucose produced during glycolysis is converted to substances like ethyl alchohol and
The pyruvate by decarboxylation form acetaldehyde and by hydrogenation gives ethyl alcohol. The overall equation is
C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH + 2C2O + energy
ATP calculation:
Net gain during glycolysis = 8 ATP
ATP used for (2NADH2) 2 x 3 = 6 ATP
Balance = 2ATP
