Uh, how fast does anaerobic respiration produce ATP in terms of time in second for the reactions to carry out, and how much glucose is needed? If someone could show me the formula it would be cool too. Thanks!

Anaerobic respiration is a process by which cells convert glucose into energy without the use of oxygen. This process occurs in the cytoplasm of cells and is used by organisms that live in environments with little or no oxygen.
Aerobic respiration requires the use of oxygen to produce energy, while anaerobic respiration does not. Aerobic respiration produces more energy (ATP) per glucose molecule compared to anaerobic respiration, but anaerobic respiration is a faster process.
Many types of bacteria, archaea, and some types of fungi and protists use anaerobic respiration. Some larger organisms, such as certain fish and insects, also have cells that can perform anaerobic respiration.
The main byproduct of anaerobic respiration is lactic acid or ethanol, depending on the type of organism. In addition, carbon dioxide, water, and small amounts of energy (ATP) are also produced.
Anaerobic respiration occurs in humans during high intensity exercise when the body cannot supply enough oxygen to meet the demands of the muscles. This can cause a buildup of lactic acid in the muscles, leading to fatigue and soreness.
