Introduction
Anaerobic respiration is a type of respiration that does not use oxygen. Anaerobic respiration is used by humans during strenuous exercise because it can function in oxygen debt and provide quick energy. it does not provide as much of a net gain of energy as aerobic but it makes ATP quicker.
Fermentation happens during anaerobic respiration. The two types of fermentation are lactid acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation.
Task
Read through the websites and answer the questions on lactid acid fermentation, alcoholic fermentation, and anearobic and aerobic fermentation.
