They can get some energy out of glycolysis, or the splitting of glucose into pyruvate, and the pyruvate can be fermented into lactic acid, producing more energy. This lactic acid is why your muscles get sore after oxygen deprivation.

Which scientists postulated that the sharp lines in the emission spectra of elements are caused by electrons moving from high energy levels to low energy levels?
Niels Bohr
What is in blood that is being pumped from the heart to the lungs?
Carbon dioxide is at high levels and oxygen at low levels in blood that is being pumped from the heart to the lungs.
What is your body main source of energy?
It is glucose. In response to the rise in blood-glucose levels (say) after a meal, the pancreas releases insulin which breaks down the glucose and carries it to cells that need extra energy.The glucose enters the cell by special molecules in the membrane called "glucose transporters". The cells that need glucose have specific insulin receptors on their surface so that insulin can bind to them, encouraging glucose entry and utilization in the cells.Once inside your cells, the glucose is burned to produce heat and adenosine triphosyphate, (ATP) a molecule that stores and releases energy as required by the cell.The metabolism of glucose into energy may occur either in combination with oxygen (aerobic metabolism) or without it (anaerobic metabolism). The oxygen used comes from the mitochondria - tiny bodies inside the cell. However, red blood cells do not have mitochondria, so they change glucose into energy without the use of oxygen.Glucose is also converted to energy in muscle cells - who are probably the most important energy "customers". These muscle cells do contain mitochondria so they can process glucose with oxygen. But even if oxygen-levels in the muscle-cell mitochondria fall too low, the cells can proceed to convert glucose into energy without oxygen. Unfortunately, turning glucose into energy without oxygen produces the by-product lactic acid. And too much lactic acid makes your muscles ache.
What would happen if you were hit by a shock from an explosion?
Depends on how severe the shockwave is- At very high energy levels, you would be thrown through the air. At extremely high levels, the air sacs in your lungs would be ruptured from the force, resulting in death. At higher levels, your body would be torn apart. A low levels, you could have your hearing damaged, be stunned.
Low-frequency red light is used in dark rooms because it does not expose the film. This is because the red light has a low?
Red light has low energy.
Overworked muscles can still release energy when oxygen levels are low by the process of?
Anaerobic respiration - resulting in lactic acid build up in muscle cells, and sore muscles...
What happens if levels of carbon dioxide or oxygen in your body change?
if the oxygen levels are too low, your muscles won't get the oxygen they need from the blood cells. if the carbon dioxide levels are too high, well, carbon dioxide is a waste product, the same thing will happen. this is why when you hold your breathe you pass out. if the muscles don't get the oxygen they need they can't move.
When low oxygen levels occur during exercise what end product is glucose converted into?
Energy
What is oxygen depletion?
When oxygen levels in water get low... When algae takes over a lake. The oxygen levels will get low.
When low oxygen levels occur during exercise glucose is converted into what stable end products?
Energy
Why do catfish survive in low-oxygen levels better than trouts?
it is because catfish can survive in low-oxygen levels. Trout survives at higher oxygen levels
How do geese adapt to low oxygen levels?
Imo, levels are more legitimate than they are low
Where in the body would you find low oxygen levels causing vasoconstriction and high levels causing vasodilation?
Low oxygen levels cause vasodilation in systemic arterioles.High oxygen levels cause vasodilation in capillaries in the lungs.
A decrease in the blood's ability to transport oxygen is called what?
The correct name for low levels of oxygen in the blood is hypoxaemia. Low levels of oxygen in the body tissues is called hypoxia
Why does your tongue get sore when you have low iron?
because the tongue is a muscle. Low iron causes the hemoglobin (what binds oxygen to red blood cells) to be low. This leads to the muscles not getting enough oxygen. When muscles do not get enough oxygen they tend to ache and cramp easily.
Does low oxygen levels make you sleepy?
yes
What color is skin with low levels of oxygen?
purple
