Anaerobic Respiration
1. It does not require oxygen. It may occur both in the presence and absence of oxygen.
2. It occur only in living cells. It requires only enzymes and substrate and may occur without cells.
3. Sugar is oxidized, CO₂ and H₂O are formed as end products. Different substrate are degraded to form alcohol and organic acids.
