Introduction
Anaerobic respiration
Anaerobic respiration is when the organism doesn't need oxygen to produce ATP. Anaerobic respiration is the oldest way for organisms get ATP due to lack of oxygen.
The first picture is the process of the lactic acid fermentation.
The next picture shows the process of alcoholic fermentation.
