What is the ATP yield of anaerobic cellular respiration?

This is like needing a match to start a fireplace—you get a bigger energy yield out than you put into it. But the net yield is only 2 ATP/glucose. The process is correctly called anaerobic fermentation (like the fermentation in wine that produces alcohol from sugar). Respiration is the cellular process that uses oxygen (aerobic respiration). read more

Aerobic respiration, a process that uses oxygen, and anaerobic respiration, a process that doesn't use oxygen, are two forms of cellular respiration. Although some cells may engage in just one type of respiration, most cells use both types, depending on an organism's needs. read more
