in da muscles energy is used up - ATP is converted to ADP

when dere is boatloads of oxygen about, oxygen helps convert ADP back to ATP. but wi'out oxygen the pyruvate g6p product reduces NADH back 2 NAD which can then make bares ATP, no big deal eh?

Why does running make a person breathe faster?

Your body uses oxygen make energy, and muscles need energy to relax and contract, or flex. As you run, the demand for energy in your muscles increases, and so your lungs work harder to provide the oxygen your muscles are begging for. The result of higher demand for oxygen is faster deeper breaths.

What does energy transfer into when you run?

When you run, your body converts stored energy from food into kinetic energy, which propels you forward as you move. This energy transfer happens through a series of metabolic processes that convert chemical energy into mechanical energy.

What happens when muscles are exercised without sufficient oxygen?

well if muscles run out of oxygen you might slow down and not breath proppely and you might also die.


Why do you die if you have lack of oxygen?

The stage in cellular respiration that supplies most of the energy for our cells involves electrons "falling" to different "stages". The electrons fall because they are pulled that way by oxygen, which has a very high attraction to electrons. As they fall, they supply energy to proteins that "pump" hydrogen across a membrane in our mitochondria, creating a "dam" of hydrogen ions. These ions will try to "flood" out of the "dam", doing so by going through a complex that acts as a turbine, supplying energy to cells. So, basically, oxygen is needed for the electrons to fall to start the energy-producing process. So, oxygen is needed is producing energy- if we run out of oxygen, we run out of energy.


Do calories make you run slower?

no- unless they are changed to fat in your body , which happens if you eat too much too often. Calories are a unit that measures the energy in foods. You could not run at all without calories- you burn calories when you run. They are like fuel for your muscles.


What happens when your muscles cells run out of oxygen?

Cells that do not require oxygen go through anaerobic respiration, which is a form of cellular respiration that uses fermentation to turn energy into useful energy. There are two types of anaerobic respiration, lactic acid fermentation and alcohol fermentation. Muscle cells do this when they run out of oxygen and go through fermentation instead. The product of this type of fermentation from muscle cells is lactic acid. Lactic acid is toxic and causes soreness and fatigue. Anybody who has been sore after exercise has experienced lactic acid fermentation.


Why does oxygen have a higher energy than sulfur?

Oxygen has a higher energy than sulfur because oxygen is more electronegative than sulfur, which means it can attract electrons more strongly. This results in oxygen forming stronger bonds with other elements, leading to higher energy content. Additionally, oxygen's smaller atomic size allows for tighter packing of its atoms in compounds, further contributing to its higher energy.
