anaerobic respiration
Gaseous exchange in which the hydrogen removed from the glucose during glycolysis is combined with an organic ion instead of oxygen.

Anaerobic composting. If you're the patient sort and appreciate a low-tech approach to things, you might find anaerobic composting attractive.You'll need some large plastic freezer bags and your composting scraps.
Anaerobic Compost-Composting without the use of oxygen. This process requires little to no effort, but requires more time to mature.
Anaerobic: Bacteria, etc, that occur when there is no oxygen. It happens sometimes in stagnant ponds or in unhealthy compost heaps when they get cold and damp.
Anaerobic- Capable of living in the absence of, or not requiring, molecular oxygen.
Andesite- An extrusive usually dark grayish rock consisting essentially of oligoclase or feldspar.
Anemophilous- Normally wind-pollinated.
Anaerobic-Able to live and grow where there is no air or free oxygen.
Anion-A negatively charged ion, such as sulfate (SO4-) and phosphate (PO4-).
Anaerobic - Refers to the processes of metabolism done with out oxygen. This usually results in fermentation.
Angiosperm - Flowering plant that forms seeds within the protected ovary. This describes fruiting plants.
ANAEROBIC -- Describes organisms living or occurring when oxygen is absent. Usually term used when talking about compost heaps.
ANNUAL -- A plant which completes its life cycle within one year of germination. Compare biennial and perennial.
Anaerobic: Conditions without oxygen. Bacteria and fungi that grow in such conditions produce methane and sulfur byproducts (neither of which is pleasantly defined by our sense of smell).
anaerobic Active in the absence of free oxygen.
angiosperm A member of a class of plants characterized by the formation of flowers and seeds in fruits.
Anaerobic
A term used to describe a compost pile that is not properly aerated.
While the base soil is waterlogged, almost saline, anaerobic when wet and water-repellent when dry, raised beds lift roots above these problems.
A new planting of fan palms was a headache for the Gardens staff.
(L. Gr. an, without; aer, air; biosis, manner of life) life in the absence of air or free oxygen; anaerobic respiration, respiration occurring in the absence of oxygen.anastomosis search for term- n.
There are two primary types of bacteria that decompose the materials in a compost heap - anaerobic (doesn't require oxygen), and aerobic (does require oxygen). The type you have in your pile is directly related to how often you turn the pile.
This means postharvest respiration may be anaerobic (occur without oxygen). In anaerobic respiration, starches and sugars are more likely to be converted into ketones, aldehydes, and alcohols than in aerobic respiration.
More abundant rainfall can lead to anaerobic conditions within a compost pile, which not only slows the decomposition process but can also cause the pile to stink. Top your compost pile with a thick layer of leaves or straw during the fall and winter.
The fungii breaking down the material are air breathers, and the ONLY way to screw up compost is to let it go anaerobic (airless). Then the little critters die and the only things that continue to populate your compost are anaerobic bacteria.
Some commercially available compost-brewing kits have an aeration system that adds air into the water as the tea steeps, which keeps it from going anaerobic (or smelly).
-- help break down the material into humus; or an anaerobic process which relies on different critters (and more time) to finish.
Weeding, planting and pulling vegetables can be great anaerobic exercise that strengthens your muscles. Gardening usually starts in the early spring, when people have been resting during cold winter months.
The land was submerged in water when Maltas first saw it; underneath he found "horrible, stinking blue anaerobic clay.
Grass clippings tend to form an airless mass and turn into slim due to anaerobic bacteria.
Many household chemicals are highly alkaline and can raise the pH of the effluent, although anaerobic digestion by the bacteria in the tank tends to keep effluent pH closer to neutral.
Changes pile chemistry, causes nitrogen loss, and too much lime hurts bacteria and other microorganisms. Omit from pile or use very sparingly in thin layers if pile is going anaerobic (do not mix with manure).

Excess water can lead to an anaerobic (lack of oxygen) condition which slows the decomposition process and causes to odors. If the pile should become too wet, turn it to dry it out, or add dry carbon materials to the pile.
