Answer:

Anaerobic Respiration (Alcoholic fermentation or Lactic Acid fermentation)

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Anaerobic Respiration occurs when the amount of oxygen available to enough to support the process of aerobic respiration. It can occur in two ways Alcoholic fermentation or lactic acid fermentation.
  • Lactic fermentation mostly occurs when you do workout or perform a physical activity of high level for extended period of time and it causes muscles to burn. In animals lactic fermentation occurs after glycolysis after there is not enough oxygen available to perform aerobic respiration.
