Weightlifting is a good example. Instead of using oxygen to produce energy, your cells break down glucose into lactic acid and energy. Compare that to an aerobic exercise, such as running. Whour body uses oxygen to produce energy. Your body needs more oxygen, so you breathe faster and more heavily. Chuis

∙ 15y agoWhen your muscles don't get enough oxygen (e.g. when you are heavily exercising and your blood is pumping fast but not fast enough to bring enough oxygen to your muscles). Then it switches from aerobic to anaerobic respiration and lactic acid is created in your muscles, which is why we feel a burn and get sore when we work out.

What is the scientific definition for the word respiration?
aerobic respiration in humans anaerobic respiration in plants
What is the function of cellular resperation?
Cellular respiration is the production of energy within a cell. Aerobic respiration requires O2 but is significantly more efficient than anaerobic respiration (without oxygen). In humans we cannot maintain life on anaerobic respiration alone, it is used for short periods of time to maintain small amounts of ATP that are required to begin aerobic respiration.
What distinguishes aerobic from anaerobic respiration?
Aerobic respiration requires diatomic free oxygen. Anaerobic respiration does not require it, and in fact is often hindered by free oxygen.
What is the name of the process of resperation that does not require oxygen?
anaerobic respiration there is also fermentation, which is like anaerobic respiration but does not have an electron transport chain
Give 2 advantages of aerobic respiration over anaerobic respiration?
When a quick burst of en is needed and oxygen is in limited supply
What is the scientific definition for the word respiration?
aerobic respiration in humans anaerobic respiration in plants
What molecule is used during aerobic respiration?
Cellular respiration can be aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, anaerobic respiration does not need oxygen.
What is the word equationfor respiration?
Aerobic respiration in humans is: Glucose + Oxygen → Energy + Carbon Dioxide + Water Anaerobic respiration in humans is: Glucose → Lactic Acid + Energy
What do humans produce during anaerobic respiration that harms muscles?
lactic acid
What type of respiration can produce lactic or alcohol?
Anaerobic respiration produces lactic acid in humans and ethanol in plants.
How is anaerobic respiration used to make alcohol?
You have the same homework as me don't you?... Well anaerobic respiration produces ethanol which is actually a type of alcohol.

In humans we cannot maintain life on anaerobic respiration alone, it is used for short periods of time to maintain small amounts of ATP that are required to begin aerobic respiration.
Which set of pairings correctly matches the process with its condition?
cellular respiration: anaerobic:: fermentation :anaerobic
Can a cell undergo respiration when glucose is not available?
Yes, it can in a process called anaerobic respiration.
What is anaerobic respiration respiration?
In plant and animal cells, it is a process in which energy is released from food molecules such as glucose without requiring oxygen. Some aerobic plants and animals are able to use anaerobic respiration for short periods of time. For example, during a sprint, human muscles can respire anaerobically.Unfortunately, lactic acid is produced and accumulates until the muscles cannot continue working. Anaerobic respiration in humans is less efficient than aerobic respiration at releasing energy, but releases energy faster. This explains why humans can run faster in a sprint than over longer distances. When humans stop after a sprint, they have to continue breathing more heavily for a while. This is to take in extra oxygen in order to break down the accumulated lactic acid on top of the normal breakdown of sugar in aerobic respiration. The body is paying back the oxygen debt built up during the sprint. . Anaerobic respiration is the process by which non-oxygen dependent organisms breath. It is mostly commonly used in the process of fermentation. Anaerobic respiration is respiration that uses electron acceptors other than oxygen. Anaerobic respiration can be found in protozoans and bacteria.Anaerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration. It occurs when oxygen is not available or is available in very low quantities.It is also a respiration in the absence of oxygen. Oxygen is not used as the final electron acceptor.
