What is Aerobic and Anaerobic Respiration

 What is Cellular Respiration?

The process of breakdown of food in the cell with the release of energy is called cellular respiration.

Types of Cellular Respiration

• When breakdown of food/glucose occurs with the use of oxygen it is called aerobic respiration.
• Examples: In most of our body cells Aerobic respiration takes place.

• Food can also be broken down, without using oxygen. This is called anaerobic respiration.
• Examples: Some organisms like Yeast thrive/Lives in oxygen deficient conditions. They are called anaerobes. Muscles cells can also respire anaerobically

In absence of oxygen glucose can be converted to Lactic acid or alcohol
