\tLiving beings is that it do not require use of oxygen to get get energy from food. It also happens in our body some time when there is lack of oxygen in us. ( Very Rarely !) and also it produce only 2 ATP.\tAnother advantage of anaerobic respiration is its speed. It produces ATP very quickly. For example, it lets your muscles get the energy they need for short bursts of intense activity (see Figure below). Aerobic respiration, on the other hand, produces ATP more slowly.\xa0
