Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The word anaerobic indicates “without oxygen.” The term has many uses in medicine. Anaerobic bacteria are germs that can survive and grow where there is no oxygen. For example, it can thrive in human tissue that is injured and does not have oxygen-rich blood flowing to it.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anaerobic means ‘without air’ and refers to the body producing energy without oxygen. This is typically exercise that is performed at a higher intensity. There are two ways that the body can produce energy anaerobically.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anaerobic respiration only involves glycolysis. This step produces 2 ATPs and does not need any oxygen. The electron transport chain needs oxygen. Since anaerobic respiration only involves glycolysis (which is an anaerobic step itself) it does not need oxygen.
