May 18, 2023 at 10:22 comment added Jiminy Cricket. I'd use anaerobic glycolysis, but other's mileage may differ.
May 18, 2023 at 10:17 comment added Patrick Would it be wrong to call anaerobic glycolysis , as you mentioned , as lactic acid fermentation in animal cells? Lactic acid is the product formed and glycolysis is the only energy extraction pathway followed by some reaction to get the NAD+ back. That would be a choice of word usage then?

May 17, 2023 at 17:36 comment added David @JiminyCricket. — No, I put that in because anaerobic respiration is wrong (it covers bacteria that use metals rather than oxygen as an electron acceptor). I don’t like it really either. Perhaps anaerobic glycolysis would be better.
May 17, 2023 at 17:30 comment added Jiminy Cricket. Hello Patrick, yes that's probably the case. It might also be the use of "fermentation". Whilst perhaps not technically incorrect by some definitions, it isn't the usual usage of the word as it would normally apply to microbial activity, not what happens in (healthy) human cells.
May 17, 2023 at 17:24 comment added Patrick What may be the reason for the negative votes on this question? Was it because of no research?
May 17, 2023 at 13:42 comment added Patrick Thank you for that, I have researched some more and would like to know cells in our body that may not have a mitochondria.

May 16, 2023 at 22:11 comment added David Welcome to SE Biology. There are two situations in which lactic acid fermentation /anaerobic glycolysis occurs — that in which the tissue has insufficient oxygen, and that in which there are no mitochondria to oxidize NADH. A little reflection might suggest to you an example of a cell in which the latter situation exists.

Scientific correct regarding anerobic respiration
