Question
When does anaerobic respiration occur in man and yeast?
✓
Answer
In alcoholic fermentation (by yeast), incomplete oxidation of glucose occurs under anaerobic conditions by sets of reactions where pyruvic acid is converted to ethanol and CO2. PA → Ethanol + CO2 In animal cells also, like muscles during exercise, when oxygen is inadequate for cellular respiration pyruvic acid is reduced to lactic acid.
