Answer 1

What do you think it should be?

Answer 2

Answer 3

Umm..are you sure?

What kind of respiration generally takes place in our body? aerobic or lactic acid fermentation?

Answer 4

aerobic

Answer 5

Yes, in normal condition aerobic respiration (the one which requires oxygen) takes place in our body. Now when someone indulges in intense workout, muscles use up all the present oxygen very quickly to perform aerobic respiration (which is the primary mode of respiration). Now when all the oxygen is used up, the cells start performing alternate pathway i.e lactic acid fermentation to produce energy as this pathway does not requires oxygen.

Got it?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

Good. Also this post is more suited to biology section so post similar questions in biology section from next time. Thank you.
