Accumulates as the end product of anaerobic respiration in muscle cells?
The ending product of anaerobic respiration in muscle cells is lactic acid.
When oxygen is not available for respiration cells use this process to release energy from gluecose?
that is anaerobic respiration. It does not require oxygen
Where in your body can you use anaerobic respiration?
In your muscle cells. In your case, the only fermentation your cells are going through is lactic acid fermentation (and not alcohol fermentation). Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen. If there is oxygen present, then your cells will go through aerobic respiration normally. However, there are times when your cells lack oxygen, as in intense exercise. When cells can do both aerobic and anaerobic respiration, it is called facultative respiration.
Why do muscles get tired during anaerobic respiration?
When muscle cells undergo anaerobic respiration they become fatigued and painful due to the buildup of pyruvate in cells. The pyruvate is converted to lactic acid.
What type of cells obtain energy from cellular respiration?
All cells obtain energy from cellular respiration. Some undergo anaerobic respiration and some undergo aerobic respiration.

Does anaerobic respiration only occur in bacteria?
No, anaerobic respiration occurs in the cells of your body. glucose = lactic acid + oxygen (sugar)
Can cells that carry on aerobic respiration operate anaerobically if needed?
Cells can usually make up for a lack of oxygen to produce energy with anaerobic respiration. For example, when doing heavy physical exercise like lifting weights (i.e. anaerobic exercise), the amount of energy required of the muscle cells exceeds the amount the cells are able to make through aerobic respiration given the amount of oxygen they get. So they compensate by using anaerobic respiration (glycolysis and fermentation of pyruvic acid) to produce that extra ATP. However, the byproduct of this anaerobic respiration, lactic acid, accumulates in the cells and body and is toxic. It has to be processed and broken down by the liver (when it accumulates in the muscles, for example, it causes muscle aches after exercise). So most animal cells cannot survive indefinitely solely on anaerobic respiration, but can supplement their energy generation with it if necessary.
Cells that undergo anaerobic respiration produce what?
Lactic acid
Why do muscles get tired during anaerobic respiration?
When muscle cells undergo anaerobic respiration they become fatigued and painful due to the buildup of pyruvate in cells. The pyruvate is converted to lactic acid.
Why is anaerobic respiration required?
When oxygen runs out, the muscles and other cells need to obtain energy from oxygen and nutrients. Anaerobic respiration (respiration without oxygen) fills this need.
What type of cells obtain energy from cellular respiration?
All cells obtain energy from cellular respiration. Some undergo anaerobic respiration and some undergo aerobic respiration.
What type of respiration does muscle cells perform?
Aerobic respiration is the type of respiration that takes place in resting muscle tissue. This is in contrast to the anaerobic respiration that happens when muscles are exercised.
Is aerobic respiration or anaerobic respiration more beneficial for your cells?
anaerobic respiration is definitely more beneficial for your cells becauseAnaerobic respiration (anaerobiosis) refers to the oxidation of molecules in the absence of oxygen to produce energy, in opposition to aerobic respiration which does use oxygen. Anaerobic respiration processes require another electron acceptor to replace oxygen. Anaerobic respiration is often used interchangeably with fermentation, especially when the glycolytic pathway is used for energy production in the cell. They are not synonymous terms, however, since certain anaerobic prokaryotes can generate all of their ATP using an electron transport system and ATP synthase. Definition of anaerobic respiration: the breakdown of food substances in the absence of oxygen with a small amount of energy.aerobic is the absence of air in cells which is a bad thing so anaerobic is the best for cells.
Cellular respiration occurs in what cells?
Anaerobic respiration occurs in some bacteria and fungi as well as yeasts.
