The primary purpose of anaerobic respiration is to generate ATP in the absence of oxygen. It fulfills this purpose by allowing cells to continue producing ATP when aerobic respiration is not possible. This is achieved through a process that involves the partial breakdown of glucose and regeneration of NAD⁺ to keep glycolysis going.
