What is the equation for anaerobic respiration in muscles?

The equation for anaerobic respiration in muscles, particularly during intense exercise when oxygen is limited, can be represented as follows:

In this equation:

• Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) is broken down into lactic acid (C₃H₆O₃).
• The process generates a small amount of energy in the form of ATP.

This anaerobic process allows muscle cells to continue producing energy when oxygen levels are insufficient for aerobic respiration, although it results in the accumulation of lactic acid, which can lead to muscle fatigue and discomfort during and after intense physical activity
