Which process takes place cells when they do not get enough oxygen?
Lactic acid fermentation
Which process takes place in muscle cells when do not get enough oxygen?
Lactic Acid Fermentation
How oxygen enters the cells?
Oxygen is able to go into a cell by diffusion. The oxygen molecules are small enough to go through the cell membrane with that process.
What energy releasing process may take place when cells don't have enough oxygen?
anaerobic respiration
What process carries oxygen to and carbon dioxide away from cells?
Respiration is the process that carries oxygen to the cells and removes carbon dioxide from them. Blood carries the oxygen to the cells.
Why is oxygen essential?
Oxygen is essential for aerobic cellular respiration, the process by which cells get energy from food. If we are deprived of oxygen, aerobic respiration will cease, and we will not be able to get enough energy to survive.
By what process are nutrients and oxygen oxidized in your cells?
The process by which nutrients and oxygen are oxidized in cells is cellular respiration. It involves the oxidation of nutrients usually by oxygen.
Do cells die if you dont have enough oxygen?
Yes, cells die without oxygen.
What is the process where the muscles need oxygen?
if the working muscles do not have enough oxygen, then the process is anaerobic respiration where the glucose in the cells is creating lactic acid as it is not reacting with the oxygen needed like it would if the body was respiring normally then it would be aerobic respiration
How does empysema cause of the breakdown of the lung?
The cells can't get enough oxygen fast enough, because the lung is broken down and is not functioning at the full potential that a nonsmoking person would. (smoking makes the lungs breakdown and cant process the oxygen and carbon monoxide into/out of the cells that need it.
What is the process by which oxygen carried into the cells?
Cellular respiration
What is the process in which cells obtain energy without oxygen?
Anaerobic Respiration. The cells produce lactic acid in the process.
