Answer
Glucose can be oxidised via the aerobic pathway or the anaerobic pathway. When oxidised via the aerobic pathway it leads to the formation of carbon dioxide, water and energy (ATP molecules).
In humans, anaerobic respiration occurs in muscle cells when they are fatigued. During this phase, lactic acid fermentation takes place and results in the production of lactic acid and two molecules of ATP.
