The equation for anaerobic respiration depends on the type of fermentation. For lactic acid fermentation, the equation is: C6​H12​O6​→2C3​H6​O3​+2ATP. For alcoholic fermentation in yeast, it is: C6​H12​O6​→2C2​H5​OH+2CO2​+2ATP. To calculate, measure the amount of glucose consumed and the products formed to determine the efficiency of the process.
