What is another word for anaerobic respiration?
A
Fermentation
B
Breathing
C
Glycolysis
D
Synthesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anaerobic respiration is the process by which cells break down sugars to produce energy without oxygen. Anaerobic respiration is also called fermentation. Fermentation mainly occurs in yeast cells, bacteria, and muscle cells of animals.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -There are two main types of anaerobic respiration: Alcoholic fermentation. Lactic acid fermentation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fermentation breaks down glucose in the absence of oxygen. Fermentation is the process of reducing pyruvate to either ethanol or lactate to regenerate NAD+ from NADH. Fermentation uses pyruvate as the acceptor of high energy electrons from NADH.
