When the body produces lactic acid because it doesn't have enough oxygen this makes a muscle sore.

What process preformed by the peas when they start to grow causes the drop of liquid to move to the left?

Cellular respiration is performed by peas when they start to grow.


How does photosynthesis relate to real life?

it can be like when you bake bread and the cellular respiration in the yeast causes the bread to rise. also in the process of making wine and alcohol as oxygen runs out for cellular respiration it goes into a process called aerobic respiration.


What type of cellular respiration causes muscle contraction?

Aerobic cellular respiration produces energy for muscle contraction but this is not what causes the contractions. The binding properties between the proteins actin and myosin are what give muscles the ability to contract.


What causes muscel soreness?

When muscles are active they quickly exceed their oxygen supply. When this occurs they can no longer run aerobic respiration so the muscle begins to produce lactic acid as a byproduct of anaerobic respiration. When lactic acid builds up it irritates nerve receptors and results in the feeling of soreness.


Which type of fermentation causes muscle soreness?

Muscles use aerobic respiration to metabolize the energy they need to function. When they have insufficient oxygen to metabolize all the energy they need, they use anaerobic respiration in the form of fermentation. The Lactic acid which is created as a by product of fermentation builds up in the muscles and causes soreness.


How does exercising warm you up?

In order for muscles to move cellular respiration must occur to provide cells with energy. The process of cellular respiration also produces heat energy which plays a large part in keeping our body temperature close to 37 degrees Celsius.


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 causes Leigh syndrome?

Leigh syndrome is caused by defective cellular respiration that supplies many tissues with energy.

Which type of anaerobic respiration occurs in animals during overexertion?

When muscles overexert, the available oxygen may run out and they resort to anaerobic metabolism creating lactic acid which is what causes the soreness felt after exercise.


Where is most of the ATP made in cellular respiration?

The most ATP is created when NADH+ is reduced in the electron transport chain to NAD which causes a proton gradient that is then pumped through ATP synthase (and enzyme) creating most of the ATP in Cellular Resp.


Why would your body go through lactic acid fermentation instead of cellular respiration?

Lactic acid will be the temporary end point of cellular respiration while oxygen supplies are limited, as while enduring exertion. This temporary presense of an excess amount of acid in the muscle tissue is what causes the feeling 'muscle burn'.
