Two Types of Anaerobic Respiration
- Lactic Acid Fermentation
- Reactants: Pyruvate and NADH
- Products: NAD+ and lactate (lactic acid)
- Occurs in Muscle cells and micro-organisms
- Alcohol Fermentation
- Reactants: Pyruvate
- Products: Ethanol and CO2 (waste)
- Occurs in Yeasts and some bacteria

|
| Oxygen requirements | Oxygen is required for the process to occur | Oxygen is not used in this type of respiration |
| Reactants and Products | Reactants: Pyruvate NAD, CoA
Products: Acetyl CoA, NADH, CO2 (waste) |
Reactants: Pyruvate and NADH
Products: NAD+ or ethanol |
| Energy Output | 36 ATP molecules are produced through this process | 2 ATP molecules are released through this process |
