    There are 2 types of respiration ... aerobic and anaerobic. aerobic occurs in presence of oxygen and anaerobic in absence of oxygen. there are few organisms that carry out aerobic respiration like us, humans. but some organisms carry out anaerobic respiration like yeast or lactobacillus.

    so now aerobic respiration in short is breaking down carbohydrates to release energy in the form of ATP. With this CO2 is also released.

    C6H12O6 (s) + 6 O2 (g) → 6 CO2 (g) + 6 H2O (l) + heat

    now we go 2 anaerobic respiration. hold on i need 2 find d exact equation

    in anaerobic respiration carbohydrate is broken down 2 release energy in form of atp. the by products are lactic acid in case of lactic acid fermentation or alcohol in case of alcohol fermentation and CO2.

    in both the fermentation pyruvate is converted to alcohol or lactic acid.

    D. carbon dioxide
