Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Anaerobic respiration is respiration using electron acceptors other than molecular oxygen (O2). Although oxygen is not the final electron acceptor, the process still uses a respiratory electron transport chain.
Detailed explanation-2: -Anaerobic respiration is the process in which incomplete oxidation of glucose occurs in the absence of oxygen. It is commonly known as fermentation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sometimes there is not enough oxygen around for some organisms to respire, but they still need the energy to survive. Due to lack of oxygen, they carry out respiration in the absence of oxygen to produce the energy they require, which is referred to as anaerobic respiration.
