Advantages: Quick energy production; useful when oxygen is limited; essential for some microorganisms and muscle cells during intense exercise. Disadvantages: Produces less ATP compared to aerobic respiration; results in by-products like lactic acid or ethanol that can be harmful or require additional processing.
