Oh Okay Let me see.

In plant and animal cells, a process in which energy is released from food molecules such as glucose without requiring oxygen is ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION. 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. Use of anaerobic respiration in industry--- In plants, yeasts, and bacteria, anaerobic respiration results in the production of alcohol and carbon dioxide, a process that is exploited by both the brewing and the baking industries. Origins of anaerobic respiration--- Although anaerobic respiration is a primitive and inefficient form of energy release, deriving from the period when oxygen was missing from the atmosphere, it can also be seen as an adaptation. To survive in some habitats, such as the muddy bottom of a polluted river, an organism must be to a large extent independent of oxygen; such habitats are said to be anoxic.

Aerobic and anaerobic respiration Page: 1234Next Respiration releases energy for cells from glucose. This can be aerobic respiration, which needs oxygen, or anaerobic respiration, which does not. During exercise, the breathing rate and heart rate increase. During hard exercise an oxygen debt may build up. What is aerobic respiration? Respiration is a series of reactions in which energy is released from glucose. Aerobic respiration is the form of respiration which uses oxygen. It can be summarised by this equation: glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water (+ energy) Energy is shown in brackets because it is not a substance. Notice that: Glucose and oxygen are used up Carbon dioxide and water are produced as waste products Aerobic respiration happens all the time in the cells of animals and plants. Most of the reactions involved happen inside mitochondria, tiny objects inside the cytoplasm of the cell. The reactions are controlled by enzymes.

It is against the code of conduct to post questions irrelevant to the topic.

I didnt know geez lol

OpenStudy (aaronq):

Please close and ask in bio

OpenStudy (zairahernandez):

@aaronq Sometimes people are in deadlines and you get really frustrated when You Have no one to help you. And Its always right to ask. No matter where at everyone has an opinion. all to respect.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks girl

OpenStudy (aaronq):

I'm not a stranger to deadlines, trust. You just have to abide by the rules set by the website if you're going to use it. Additionally, she's asking for facts not opinions, so idk how what you said makes sense.

OpenStudy (zairahernandez):

you are right. But I guess we learn something lol

OpenStudy (aaronq):

I'm not trying to be rude, i say this to everyone that posts irrelevant content here. Thanks for understanding
