Definitions:

Anaerobic Respiration

A form of respiration that occurs in the absence of oxygen, where energy is produced by the breakdown of glucose through processes such as fermentation.

Lactate

Lactate is a compound produced when glucose is broken down and oxidized under anaerobic conditions, playing a significant role in energy production during intense exercise.

Pyruvate

A key intermediate in several metabolic pathways, especially glycolysis, where glucose is broken down to produce energy.

Cellular Respiration

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
