Lactic acid fermentation. It only produces 1/18 as much energy, though your muscles can still keep going.

How do your muscles continue to get energy when you lack oxygen?

by eating good food and rest.


Fermentation enables glycolysis to continue under what conditions?

Fermentation allows glycolysis to continue under anaerobic conditions (i.e. in the lack of oxygen)


How do your muscles continue to get energy during high levels of activitywhen there is not enough oxygen?

Glucose


What acid is associated with muscles in the body experiencing lack of oxygen?

When your muscles contract without enough oxygen they produce lactic acid.


How do your muscles continue to get energy during high levels of activity when there is not enough oxy gen?

Oxygen is used to create ATP in the muscle cell site, however it is still possible to create ATP without oxygen. this is called Anaerobic glycolysis and is when energy from glucose (sugar) is broken down without the presence of oxygen. the byproduct of this reaction is lactic acid and causes the muscles to retard and tighten up.

Lactic acid fermentation.


What would you not be able to do without your red blood cells?

Get oxygen to your muscles


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 cant you run for as long if you have less oxygen in your blood?

because your blood carries oxygen to you muscles. without much oxygen blood won't be able to take lots to your muscles, and with little oxygen your muscles won't work as well and therefore you won't run as quickly :)


How do your muscles continue to get enough energy during high levels of activity when there is not enough oxygen?

Your muscle cell break down energy from food turning it into the process of respiration. Respiration is when the body turn carbon dioxide into oxygen Edit- Oxygen is used to create ATP in the muscle cell site, however it is still possible to create ATP without oxygen. this is called Anaerobic glycolysis and is when energy from glucose (sugar) is broken down without the presence of oxygen. the byproduct of this reaction is lactic acid and causes the muscles to retard and tighten up.

If cardiac muscle is deprived of its normal blood supply damage would primarily result from?

loss of oxygen.... the mitochondria in the cardiac muscle need it to continue to produce energy to keep the muscles contractiong without it the muscles seize from lactic acidosis a byproduct anaerobic respiration.
