Detailed explanation-3: -Anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and releases less energy but more quickly than aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration in microorganisms is called fermentation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Aerobic respiration, a process that uses oxygen, and anaerobic respiration, a process that doesn’t use oxygen, are two forms of cellular respiration. Although some cells may engage in just one type of respiration, most cells use both types, depending on an organism’s needs.
