Biology
1 answer:
cluponka [151]3 years ago

Secondly when things do die and decompose in the desert the heat and sunlight often bleach nutrients out of the matter before it is decomposes enough to be absorbed into soil

In which process is lactic acid formed when there is not enough oxygen present for cellular respiration to take place?
Olenka [21]
Anaerobic respiration.
<span>Anaerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration BUT does not use oxygen (O2). It is used when there is not enough O2 for aerobic respiration.
