What is Anaerobic Respiration?
Anaerobic respiration is the process in which organisms use electron acceptors other than oxygen. This means that oxygen is not the final electron acceptor. However, it still involves the respiratory electron transport chain. For anaerobic reactions to occur, oxygen is not the final electron acceptor. This process is also known as osmoregulation.
In anaerobic respiration, pyruvate is converted into lactate, which is used for energy production. In the process, the organism uses lactic acid to replenish cofactors needed for glycolysis.
Despite the fact that anaerobic respiration is not completely efficient, it is important for the environment. It moderates the exchange of elements on earth’s surface and in the atmosphere.
