What does anaerobic respiration produce?

Anaerobic respiration in humans Anaerobic respiration releases less energy than aerobic respiration but it does this more quickly. The product of this reaction is lactic acid.

1. What products are produced by anaerobic respiration?
2. What does anaerobic respiration produce more of?

What products are produced by anaerobic respiration?

The end products of anaerobic respiration are Lactic acid or ethanol and ATP molecules. Anaerobic respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen and is seen in lower animals. During the process of Anaerobic Respiration in prokaryotes, there is a breakdown of glucose to produce energy for cellular activities.

What does anaerobic respiration produce more of?

Another advantage of anaerobic respiration is its speed. It produces ATP very quickly. For example, it lets your muscles get the energy they need for short bursts of intense activity (seeFigure below). Aerobic respiration, on the other hand, produces ATP more slowly.
