Given below is an overall chemical reaction of a certain process: C 6 H 12 O 6 → E n z y m e L a c t i c a c i d + 2 A T P + H e a t ( e n e r g y ) . Name the process.

The process by which glucose is broken down to energy is called respiration. It is of two types: Aerobic and anaerobic. The given equation represents the anaerobic respiration. It is a type of respiration that takes place in the absence of oxygen.

Given below is an overall chemical reaction of a certain process: C 6 H 12 O 6 → E n z y m e L a c t i c a c i d + 2 A T P + H e a t ( e n e r g y ) . Name the cells in which this reaction may occur.

The process by which glucose is broken down to energy is called respiration. It is of two types: Aerobic and anaerobic. The given equation represents the anaerobic respiration. It is a type of respiration that takes place in the absence of oxygen. Anaerobic respiration takes place in the muscle cells of humans. The muscles contract and relax to produce movements, due to which they need energy in the form of ATP.
