because oxygen is required to make atp, which creates energy for the cell to function.
In anaerobic conditions oxygen is limited, so the have to create lactic acid to create energy. It is not as efficient and as the lactic acid builds up the muscles become sore. That is why your body hurts after vigorous exercise.
It is simply because the environment is oxidising. All living organisms require ATP as source of energy. Energy stored in the ATP is used for accomplishing various biological function. The ATP is generated from the readily oxidised carbon sources that the organism takes. The conversion of carbon sources to ATP requires some oxidising agent. The concentration of oxygen present in the environment is suitable for it to be used as oxidising agent.
This has to be explained from glucose metabolism. In anaerobic glycoysis, degradation of a molecule of glucose produces 2 molecules of lactate + 2 hydrogen ions (2H+) + 2 molecules of water (2H2O) + 2 molecules of ATP (2ATP).
On the other hand, the aerobic degradation of glucose generates 6 molecules of CO2 (6CO2) + 44 molecules of water (44H2O) + 38 molecules of ATP (38ATP). If we check carefuly we note that those 38 ATP molecules come from: 3 ATP molecules from each of the 10 NADH molecules generated per each glucose molecule oxidized, 2 ATPs for each 2 FADH2 molecules generated, 2 ATPs produced in the glycolisis steps and 2 GTP - 2 ATP produced in the citric acid cycle.
Therefore, aerobic metabolism is 19 times more efficient than anaerobic glycolisis in ATP production.
Our cells need much more energy than the 2 ATP that anaerobic respiration will give. Our cells need those 36 ATP. Try holding your nose for a long time. You can not because you need the ATP that oxygen will provide.
Aerobic cellular respiration produces a net gain of 36 ATP per glucose molecule. Anaerobic respiration produces a net gain of 2 ATP per glucose molecules.Aerobic cellular respiration produces 15 times more energy from sugar than anaerobic cellular respiration. :-)
what are two reasons why is it better for human muscle cells to produce energy through aerobic respiration than through anaerobic respiration
how many total ATP's come out of aerobic and anaerobic respiration
The equation for anaerobic respiration is: glucose ---> lactic acid + carbon dioxide + energy To know the disadvantages of anaerobic respiration it is best to compare it to aerobic respiration which involves oxygen (glucose + oxygen ---> carbon dioxide + water + energy) For humans to respire regularly and for long periods of time, oxygen is required. This means that anaerobic respiration through humans causes a lack of oxygen, and cannot be carried out for a very long time. Lactic acid is also produce and this is toxic and causes things such as cramp to build up. Anaerobic respiration also produces very little energy compared to aerobic respiration so is not suitable for every day respiration! Humans will mostly breathe anaerobically in situations such as sprinting in a race.
the ability to manufacture food using the energy stored in inorganic molecule's. WRONG ANSWER.....! Its B
all Produce 2 ATP and all go through Glycolysis thats my guess.
Aerobic means "with oxygen" and anaerobic means "without oxygen." Cells produce energy at a might higher and faster rate with oxygen than without.

Because anaerobic respiration releases less energy than aerobic respiration.
Through cellular respiration, either aerobic or anaerobic.
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.
Aerobic Respiration :Respiration that uses oxygen and anerobic is done without oxygenNew Answer :Aerobic RespirationRespiration That uses Oxygen to form Co2 , H2o and Energy is called Aerobic RespirationThe Equation is :Food + O2 = Co2 + H2o + EnergyAnaerobic Respiration :Respiration that Does not use Oxygen to Form : Co2 , Ethanol and EnergyThe Equation is :Glucose = Pyrovic Acid = Co2 + Ethanol + EnergyHere = is givesand Ethanol = C2H5OHThanks hope this helpedGood LuckMain diffenernce between the two is - Anaerobic respiration is without oxygen, Aerobic with oxygen
