The end products of respiration depend on the type of respiration occurring. In aerobic respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP. In anaerobic respiration, which occurs without oxygen, the end products can vary: in yeast, it results in ethanol and carbon dioxide, while in muscle cells, it produces lactic acid. Overall, the primary goal of both processes is to generate energy for cellular activities.
