cellular respiration
enzymatic release of energy from inorganic and organic compounds
chlorate respiration
cellular respiratory mechanism
anaerobic respiration
The enzymatic release of energy from inorganic and organic compounds (especially carbohydrates and fats) which uses compounds other than oxygen (e.g. nitrate, sulfate) as the terminal electron acceptor.
aerobic respiration
enzymatic release of energy from inorganic and organic compounds (especially carbohydrates and fats) which requires oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor
