    There are two types of respiration:

    1. Aerobic respiration

    2. Anaerobic respiration

    Aerobic respiration

    It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

    Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

    Anaerobic Respiration

    It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.

    Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide

    This process use respiratory electron transport chain as electron acceptor instead of oxygen. It is mostly occur in prokaryotes. Its main advantage is that it produce energy (ATP) very quickly as compared to aerobic respiration
