The body's metabolic process usually involves the oxidation of glucose. When the body cannot get enough oxygen to meet the demands for energy, cells begin using the anaerobic process (without oxygen).
This process breaks down glucose and glycogen to lactic acid which then diffuses into the blood stream.
The result of anaerobic metabolism can be seen in athletes who are rapidly using energy, at a faster rate than oxygen can be re-supplied to the muscles. Lactic acid build up impedes muscle functions, causing pain and sometimes nausea.

∙ 14y agoIt has to do with the presences of oxygen. Aerobic metabolism occurs when oxygen is present and anaerobic metabolism occurs when oxygen is not present.

Is neurons capable of anaerobic metabolism?
yes
Why does aerobic metabolism have an advantage over anaerobic metabolism in living things?
Aerobic respiration produces more energy than anaerobic respiration(about 25x more)
What kind of metabolism is used by prokaryotic organisms?
chemosynthesis, photosynthesis, and anaerobic respiration
What tissues can survive longest in the absence of adequate oxygen anaerobic conditions by deriving energy from the anaerobic metabolism of glucose molecules?
skeletal muscle
Why is it not possible to survive cyanide poisoning by using anaerobic respiration alone?
It is impossible to survive Cyanide Poisoning on Anaerobic Respiration alone, because Anaerobic Respiration supplies inadequate amounts of ATP to support the metabolism of an organism.
Is neurons capable of anaerobic metabolism?
yes
How long anaerobic metabolism last before aerobic metabolism kicks in?
About 90 seconds
A by-product of anaerobic metabolism is what material?
lactic acid
Differentiate aerobic respiration from anaerobic respiration?
Aerobic respiration is the metabolism of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) using oxygen. Anaerobic respiration is the metabolism of ATP without using oxygen.
What are the waste products of anaerobic metabolism?
Lactic acid.
Why does aerobic metabolism have an advantage over anaerobic metabolism in living things?
Aerobic respiration produces more energy than anaerobic respiration(about 25x more)
What substance accumulates in cell as a result anaerobic metabolism?
Lactic acid

lactic acid
What by-product of anaerobic metabolism will shut it down when in excess?
lactic acid
