What makes anaerobic respiration different is that it doesn't need to have oxygen present for it to begin. There are certain advantages to anaerobic respiration that aerobic respiration cannot provide, but there are certain disadvantages that must also be considered. read more
Anaerobic respiration is an essential part of the human fight or flight reaction. The energy it produces is more readily absorbed when compared to aerobic energy, allowing the cells to start the respiration process for replenishment. read more
Aerobic and anaerobic respiration both begin with glycolysis, the first stage in the breakdown of glucose. This process generates two molecules of ATP, a major energy carrier molecule. Glycolysis is an anaerobic process and can then be followed by an aerobic or anaerobic process. read more
