Initially, no.

Anaerobic exercise is really a misnomer. The work done still requires oxygen it is just that the oxygen is supplied eventually and not while performing the action. This is because the body is using glucose to the point of producing lactic acid. This is feasible for a short period of time, but eventually the oxygen debt created while using this pathway has to be repaid to deal with the lactic acid by converting it back into glucose. A good example is a sprint. After the end of the sprint there is a period of recuperation and panting required.

Differentiate aerobic respiration from anaerobic respiration?

Aerobic respiration is the metabolism of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) using oxygen. Anaerobic respiration is the metabolism of ATP without using oxygen.


What stage does Glucose metabolism that does not require oxygen to proceed?

anaerobic respiration


Why is the citric acid cycle called an anaerobic cycle when it does not use oxygen?

The fact that it does not use oxygen is precisely why it is anaerobic. Anaerobic means without oxygen. If it did use oxygen, it'll be called aerobic.


What is the process by which cells use oxygen to turn food into energy?

Respiration ---- * areobic respiration which requires oxygen * anaerobic doesn't require oxygen aerobic respiration needs glucose and oxygen. During anaerobic respiration the glucose is only partly broken down to form lactic acid and energy.


Is the ATP cp pathway considered the aerobic pathway?

no, it is anaerobic metabolism. (without oxygen, rather than with oxygen.)


What is anaerobic metabolism?

The body's metabolic process usually involves the oxidation of glucose. When the body cannot get enough oxygen to meet the demands for energy, cells begin using the anaerobic process (without oxygen). This process breaks down glucose and glycogen to lactic acid which then diffuses into the blood stream. The result of anaerobic metabolism can be seen in athletes who are rapidly using energy, at a faster rate than oxygen can be re-supplied to the muscles. Lactic acid build up impedes muscle functions, causing pain and sometimes nausea.


What tissues can survive longest in the absence of adequate oxygen anaerobic conditions by deriving energy from the anaerobic metabolism of glucose molecules?

skeletal muscle


What are the two main types of lactic acid fermentation?

These two are aerobic with Oxygen and anaerobic without Oxygen. Aerobic metabolism of lactate is proceeded in the presence of O2. Aerobic metabolism of lactate is incapacitated in the absence of O2, and the resulting anaerobic metabolism of lactate yields Lactic Acid which provides Muscle Burn.


Are snow leopards anaerobic or aerobic?

All "higher" animals, including snow leopards use oxygen for respiration and are therefore aerobic. Anaerobic organisms do not require oxygen in their metabolism and for some oxygen is poisonous. Anaerobes are essentially what we would regard as primitive organisms such as some bacteria and yeasts.


What is an anaerobic function?

An anaerobic function is one that does not use oxygen.


How do you use anaerobic in a sentence?

Anaerobic means without oxygen. Those are anaerobic bacteria.


What are the two classification of cellular respiration?

Aerobic and Anaerobic. Aerobic needs oxygen, and anaerobic does not use oxygen.
