Find out what anaerobic and aerobic respiration are and learn how the reaction occurs in living cells in this BBC Bitesize biology guide.

The end products in anaerobic respiration may be ethanol and carbon dioxide (as in yeast plant) or lactic acid (as in animal muscles). 4. In this considerable amount of energy is produced.

With their experiment pitch, they beat every other team in Michigan. "We have cellular respiration yeast to mimic real animal cells because we didn’t want to send real animals into space.
