Anaerobic Respiration

• C6H12O6 --> 2C3H6O3 + 2ATP


• Glucose →Energy + Lactic acid
• Anaerobic respiration is less efficient than aerobic
respiration.
• Waste = lactic acid (poisonous) – disposed by
inhaling, so the oxygen can turn the acid into pyruvic
acid so it can be excreted as urine.
• Lactic acid + oxygen  carbon dioxide + water
• CH3CH(OH)CO2H + 3O2 --> 3CO2 + 3H2O
