|---|---|
| Anaerobic respiration | cellular respiration that does not require oxygen. |
| aerobic respiration | respiration with oxygen |
| lactic acid fermentation | the process by which pyruvic acid is converted to lactic acid |
| alcoholic fermentation | converts pyruvic acid into ethyl alohol |
| the krebs cycle | is a biochemical pathway that breaks down acetyl CoA, producing Co2,hydrogen atoms and ATP |
