What is an alternative to cellular respiration?
The process organisms can get energy from besides cellular respiration is fermentation. This does not result in nearly as much energy, and releases lactic acid rather than carbon dioxide and water. This means that it is less efficient, but it does not require oxygen.
What is an organic substance produced when a muscle is generating energy in the absence of oxygen?
Lactic Acid. when too much accumulates, your muscles become sore.
What is a reason for the cells to use lactic acid fermentation instead of waiting for more oxygen?
Because it gives quick energy for a short time... however it is not good because this fermentation is producing alcohol as a by product that is breaking down your muscles that's why its good to breath regularly.
Why is lack of oxygen during cellular respiration result in formation of lactic acid?
Basically, oxygen is used in aerobic respiration, which combines it with glucose to form adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which cells use for energy. It also produces the waste product carbon dioxide, which is removed from the body when you breathe out.When not enough oxygen is available to produce the amount of ATP, the body can also use anaerobic respiration, which uses glucose to produce ATP. However, it is less efficient than aerobic respiration, and produces lactic acid as a waste product.Your muscles hurt when you exercise too much largely because when you work them too hard, they can't get enough oxygen, and they have to use anaerobic respiration as well as aerobic respiration. This causes lactic acid to build up inside them, which hurts.Wikipedia's page on cellular respiration has more details if you need them.
The fungus threads of lichen produce weak in much the same way that plant roots do?
acid
What fuels are used in the lactic acid system?
It's when your body doesn't have enough oxygen to perform the "normal" process of creating energy, or ATP. Without the oxygen, our bodies perform lactic acid fermentation, which still produces energy but not as much as the one with oxygen. That energy is stored in the form of lactic acid.
How much ATP is produced without oxygen?
Lactic acid fermentation only creates 2 ATP per cycle, compared to the ~34 ATP from the Krebs Cycle
What process takes place in plants and animals to release energy?
Cell respiration and lactic acid fermentation release energy in the body. While cell respiration requires oxygen, fermentation does not. However, the buildup of lactic acid causes much pain in the body's muscles.
What enables muscles to continue to work without oxygen?
Lactic acid fermentation. It only produces 1/18 as much energy, though your muscles can still keep going.
Symptoms of too much lactic acid in blood stream?
Lactic acid is produced by the muscles during exercise. What happens when there is too much lactic acid in the body is that acidosis occurs. Symptoms of acidosis include a shortness of breath, confusion and fatigue.
What happens when lactic acids builds up in your muscles?
None. There is almost no production of lactic acid in the muscle, pretty much all of it is in the form of lactate ions. They are not formed due to lack of oxygen, this is also a misconception, they are formed when the demand for ATP is too high to be met by phosphorilative oxidation, which produces more ATP per unit of glucose but does so at a slow rate.

What acid builds up in your body when you exercise too much?
lactid acid build up occurs when muscles do not get enough oxygen
What is an organic substance produced when a muscle is generating energy in the absence of oxygen?
Lactic Acid. when too much accumulates, your muscles become sore.
When muscles are overworked soreness is caused bu a buildup of what?
The presence of too much lactic acid in muscle cells causes damage called lactic acid burn. This condition occurs when respiration takes place with insufficient oxygen.
What is natural acid?
the natural acids are acids which are not much toxic . they are naturally available like lactic acid
What happens when you overwork your muscles?
the accumulation of acid lactic (propanoloic acid)
