Anaerobic respiration creates oxygen debt which must be cleared using oxygen and is why breathing rate does not return to normal immediately vigorous activity ceases.
Yeast is a unicellular fungus that undergoes fermentation.
Word equations for aerobic respiration and fermentation.
Conditions necessary for fermentation.
