Cellular Respiration Process Anaerobic. Anaerobic cellular respiration the production of energy requires oxygen. Such as sulfate as a final electron acceptor for an electron transport chain.
This is in contrast to the highly efficient process of aerobic respiration which relies on oxygen to produce energy. Let us see this through the following example. The process can be conveniently divided into two categories based on the usage of oxygen namely aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
Respiration is a series of chemical reactions but this equation summarises the overall process.
This process called anaerobic cellular respiration is performed by some bacteria and archaea. This is in contrast to the highly efficient process of aerobic respiration which relies on oxygen to produce energy. The anaerobic cellular respiration process is the sole cycle for production of energy for many anaerobic bacteria. Aerobic respiration breaks down glucose and combines the broken down products with oxygen making.
