Anaerobic respiration is a biological process in which cells generate energy without using oxygen. Instead, it relies on alternative molecules to accept electrons at the end of the electron transport chain. This process typically produces less energy compared to aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration can result in byproducts like lactic acid in animals or ethanol and carbon dioxide in yeast. It’s commonly used by organisms in environments where oxygen is scarce or during intense physical activity when oxygen supply can’t meet the demand.
What is the term used to describe animals that have to use non oxidative process to obtain (metabolic) energy?
1 Answer Explain anaerobic cellular respiration, noting the lactic and alcoholic fermentation processes.
1 Answer When a muscle contracts anaerobically, more lactic acid is formed than when it contracts aerobically because: a) oxygen inhibits fermentation of pyruvate to lactate. b) under anaerobic conditions, most pyruvate is fermented to ethanol. c) under aerobic conditions, most pyruvate is oxidized to CO by the critic acid cycle. d) glycolysis does not occur to … Read more
1 Answer Describe how living things use anaerobic respiration to generate energy. In the answer, identify the main products generated by the two types of anaerobic respiration, and identify one organism that performs each type.
