Anaerobic respiration

• Respiration: a chemical process in all living cells that release energy from glucose.
• The organelle that carries the respiration is called the mitochondria.
• The word equation for respiration is: glucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water.
• Anaerobic means without oxygen, and fermentation is the process of breaking down glucose to produce energy without oxygen.
• The anaerobic respiration of yeast is used to make beer and wine.
• Microorganism are very tiny living things.
