Detailed explanation-1: -Anaerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration where respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen. Fermentation is an anaerobic pathway-a common pathway in the majority of prokaryotes and unicellular eukaryotes. In this process, glucose is partially oxidised to form acids and alcohol.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hint: The type of respiration where energy is generated by the breakdown of the sugar molecules in the absence of oxygen is called anaerobic respiration. The metabolic process that extracts energy from the carbohydrates by the action of enzymes in the absence of oxygen is called fermentation.

Detailed explanation-3: -The short answer is no. Even though they have similar parts and neither uses oxygen, there are differences between fermentation and anaerobic respiration. In fact, anaerobic respiration is much more like aerobic respiration than it is like fermentation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation: Some examples of anaerobic respiration include alcohol fermentation, lactic acid fermentation (which can result in yogurt and in sore muscles), and in decomposition of organic matter. The equation is: glucose + enzymes = carbon dioxide + ethanol/lactic acid.
