Answer:

It is called anaerobic respiration

Step-by-step explanation:

When the breakdown of glucose (food) occurs without the use of oxygen, it is called anaerobic respiration. It is called anaerobic respiration because it takes place without air which contains oxygen (anaerobic means ‘without air). Microscopic organisms like yeast (and certain bacteria) obtain energy by anaerobic respiration.
