Fermentation: This is the process used by cells to produce energy under anaerobic conditions. It’s like making homemade bread without using an oven.
Lactic Acid: A product of anaerobic respiration in many types of cells, including human muscle cells. It’s similar to the smoke produced when burning wood – a byproduct of the process.
Glycolysis: As mentioned earlier, this is the first step in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration where glucose is broken down into pyruvate.
