Anaerobiosis means life in the absence of oxygen. Certain organisms
can survive in the absence of oxygen. The respiration which takes place in
the absence of free oxygen molecules is called anaerobic respiration. It
occurs in yeast and some bacteria. Hence, they are known as anaerobes.
Glycolysis alone occurs in these organisms. The splitting of glucose into
two molecules of pyruvic acid is given in the following equation.
In anaerobic respiration, the respiratory substrate is not completely
oxidized to release energy. Glucose is split into two molecules of pyruvic
acid. The pyruvic acid is further converted into either ethanol or organic
acids like lactic acid. Fermentation is a good example for anaerobic
respiration.
