Anaerobic respiration happens without oxygen and includes the change of pyruvic acid to lactic acid. There is a production of two ATP molecules for each glucose molecule used. Anaerobic respiration doesn't produce as much ATP as aerobic respiration. But it does allow cells to work for a short time when oxygen is too
