Detailed explanation-1: -Anaerobic respiration takes place in the cell cytoplasm and produces lactic acid. The chemical equation is C6H12O6-> 2C3H6O3 (Glucose-> Lactic acid).

Detailed explanation-2: -The equation is: glucose + enzymes = carbon dioxide + ethanol/lactic acid.

Detailed explanation-3: -The process of anaerobic respiration is really slow and gives lactic acid and energy as products. The energy is very less as compared to aerobic respiration and no Carbon Dioxide is released. Also lactic acid causes fatigue.

Detailed explanation-4: -The word equation for respiration is: Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide and Water The chemical equation is C6H1206 + O2 = CO2 + H20 Respiration is used by all living humans and animals, to make energy for movement, heat and to keep vital organs running, without it we’d be dead.

Detailed explanation-5: -Anaerobic respiration happens in muscles during hard exercise. Glucose is not completely broken down, so less energy is released than during aerobic respiration. There is a build-up of lactic acid in the muscles during vigorous exercise. The lactic acid needs to be oxidised to carbon dioxide and water later.
