what is anaerobic respiration
Anaerobic respiration is a form of respiration using electron acceptors other than oxygen.Although oxygen is not used as the final electron acceptor, the process still uses a respiratory electron transport chain; it is respiration without oxygen.In order for the electron transport chain to function, an exogenous final electron acceptor must be present to allow electrons to pass through the system.naerobic respiration is used mainly by prokaryotes that live in environments devoid of oxygen. Many anaerobic organisms are obligate anaerobes meaning that they can respire only using anaerobic compounds and will die in the presence of oxygen.
