anaerobic respiration

• • first stage is glycolysis (males 2 pyruvates)
• animals


  • pyruvate converted to lactate
  • pyruvate reduced to lactate
  • hydrogen supplied by NADH so NADH is oxidised to NAD
• plants/microorganisms


  • pyruvate converted to ethanol
  • NADH is oxidised
  • Pyruvate is reduced
  • carbon dioxide released
