What is anaerobic respiration? Write the …

Anaerobic respiration is the breakdown of glucose in the cell in the absence of oxygen. Glucose is converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide with release of little amount of energy.
Anaerobic respiration can also be seen in yeast. The breakdown of glucose in the absence of oxygen in yeast forms alcohol, energy and carbon dioxide. Yeasts and other organisms that respire in the absence of oxygen are also known as anaerobes. As yeast is a unicellular organism that respires anaerobically to yield alcohol, it is used in the production of beer and wine. Yeast is used in beverage industries to produce beer and wine by the process of fermentation. Fermentation is the process of breaking down glucose into alcohol and carbon dioxide releasing little amount of energy. Fermentation is otherwise called as anaerobic respiration.
Anaerobic respiration is observed in muscle cells. Accumulation of lactic acid inside the cells leads to muscle cramps. Supply of oxygen will break down lactic acid into carbon dioxide and water. Hot water bath relieves muscles from cramps by converting lactic acid into carbon dioxide and water.
