Where in your body can you use anaerobic respiration?

In your muscle cells. In your case, the only fermentation your cells are going through is lactic acid fermentation (and not alcohol fermentation). Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen. If there is oxygen present, then your cells will go through aerobic respiration normally. However, there are times when your cells lack oxygen, as in intense exercise. When cells can do both aerobic and anaerobic respiration, it is called facultative respiration.


What is the difference between aerobic respiration and anaerbic respiration?

Aerobic respiration: 1) Requires oxygen 2) Occurs in the mitochondria 3) Produces 38 molecules of ATP 4) Products are carbon dioxide and water in both yeast and humans 5) The glucose molecule is completely oxidised. Anaerobic respiration: 1) Doesn't requires oxygen 2) Occurs in the cytoplasm 3) Produces 2 molecules of ATP 4) Products are lactic acid in humans and carbon dioxide and ethanol in yeast 5) The glucose molecule is partially oxidised.


What is produced when you owe the body oxygen after intense exercise?

lactic acid


Can intense exercise change an XX genotype to an XY genotype?

You mean to say can intense exercise change a female to a male. Now I haven't read every medical journal, but I seriously doubt a 30 minute run has caused a change in gender in the past, nor will it ever.


What conditions is lactic acid fermentation?

Simple answer:Under the condition of strenuous exercise with inadequate oxygen supply. ;DComplicated answer:When your muscle cells are asked to perform work at an easy relaxed pace they take in glucose, fructose or sucrose plus oxygen from the blood, and using the "Aerobic Respiration" method, they generate cellular motion energy without releasing lactic acid.Read more about that amazing process here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_respiration#Aerobic_respirationHOWEVER when your muscle cells are asked to perform strenuous work at an over-extended pace, (like your running away from a bear who wants to eat you). Then the oxygen becomes in short supply. There is not enough oxygen supplied by the lungs to increase output under the "Aerobic Respiration" method.So, the muscle cells, knowing that they will die if they don't produce more energy, have a Plan - B. They can create massive amounts of energy without oxygen with the drawback of creating lactic acid. But that's fine, they will clean up that mess later. They start using an "Anaerobic Respiration" method.Read more about that here.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaerobic_exerciseThe muscle prefers to make energy using "aerobic methods", but in extreme situations, your muscle cells have a "turbo" option: "Anaerobic_respiration".This Scientific American Article answers your question:http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=why-does-lactic-acid-builAnd read this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactic_acid_fermentationAnswer #2:Your muscle cells will undergo lactic-acid fermentation (Creating cellular energy anaerobically) when there is not enough oxygen in the blood to create cellular energy in the preferred aerobic way.

What is intense form of aerobic exercise performed on a stationary bike introduced in the 1980's?

It is usually referred to as 'spinning.'


Why does anaerobic respiration happen?

Anaerobic respiration occurs because aerobic respiratory only produces a small amount of ATP (2 ATP) and because oxygen is consumed quickly in tissues. Anaerobic respiration produces a high amount of ATP and is particulary important in tissues such as muscles during streneous exercise.


Why is exercise important for reducing the risk of developing atherosclerosis?

Aerobic exercise can lower blood pressure, help control weight, and increase HDL ("good") cholesterol. It may keep the blood vessels more flexible. Moderate to intense aerobic exercise lasting about 30 minutes


What does aerobic exercise do for our body?

Aerobic exercise improves the volume of oxygen your body can take in and use to fuel aerobic functions of your body. Activities include aerobic metabolism and cardiovascular exercise. Aerobic literally means with "air", and the most biologically important to survive is oxygen. Therefore aerobic means "with oxygen". Aerobic metabolism are activities that occurs within your body when you are at rest, like in sedentary breathing, reading, writing, watching, etc. Cardiovascular exercise are activities that can improve your maximum aerobic capacity called "V02max", and may include intense physical exercise that elevates your hear rate to at least 60% of your maximal heart rate for a prolonged period of time.


Would individuals who carry out regular aerobic exercise suffer less muscle discomfort during intense exercise than other individuals?

Well it all depends also. They would suffer less muscle discomfort because aerobic exercise is all about flexibility, and taking your time. Intense exercise requires more muscle movement depending on the person who is exercising also since each person has different modes. hope that helps :)


Abruptly stopping intense exercise causes blood to pool in the lower extremities?

Abruptly stopping aerobic activity can cause blood pooling in your lower extremities or making you feel lightheaded.


What type of exercise would the treadmill be?

The treadmill would usuallly be cardio exercise (unless you were hardly moving). Any activity that increases your heart and respiration rate is cardio exercise and there are degrees of cardio from very mild to very intense.


Mhr should be calculated?

What is the importance of the anaerobic threshold to a marathon runner?

EPOC ( excess post-exercise oxygen consumption) is used for the recovery of both anaerobic & aerobic metabolism. The more anaerobic or intense the exercise is, the greater the oxygen deficit is and therefore the more EPOC is required to return the body to a pre-exercise state.


Why is it a myth that aerobic exercise is the only way to lose fat?

The only way to lose weight or fat is to create a calorie deficit - period. The reduction of fat, of course, is the real goal, not the reduction of lean muscle mass, which can occur with a significant reduction of calories with insufficent protein. There are numerous ways to create a calorie deficit: by eating fewer calories than the number which would sustain your current weight or by burning more calories through exercise, or the only really good way to do it, which is do both concurrently. Aerobic exercise burns calories almost exclusively while you are exercising, while anaerobic activity burns calories for an indeterminable period, perhaps in some cases, when the intensity of the exercise is great, for as long as 24 to 48 hours afterward. This is called the "afterburn" effect. Both aerobic (less intense, permitting your oxygen needs to be met during the exercise) and anaerobic (more intense, creates an oxygen debt which must be repaid immediately after exercise) are capable of helping you to burn the same number of calories in total, but aerobic exercise by definition would take longer. Obviously, one would choose only anaerobic exercise if time were the only important factor, or if some of the other benefits are desired, such as the development of reserve heart and lung capacity, etc., but many do not choose to perform intense exercise or they might not have the physical capacity for intense exercise, whatever the reason. One can engage in nearly any physical exercise or sport activity and achieve the same end result. The difference is in the choice of how intensely one engages in the activity as to whether it will be aerobic or anaerobic.
