In the absence of oxygen, glycolysis soon stops unless there is an alternative acceptor for the electrons produced from the glycolytic pathway. The duration of the fermentation is limited by the toxic effects of the organic compound produced. Short term energy stores are rapidly depleted, lactic acid builds up, and exercise soon comes to a halt.

How do quokkas adapt to their environment?
Quokkas do not need to adapt to their environment. They are perfectly suited to live in far southwestern Australia. Quokkas shelter in long grass or bushland with plenty of low scrub cover. Within this habitat, they make pathways for feeding, and to allow for quick escape if they are disturbed. In their habitat, water tends to be quite scarce, so they rely on succulents for their food.
What does it mean when my dog's temperature is low white gums and low red blood count?
it means he is sick so get him to the doctor
How loud can a elephants call be to other elephants?
An elephant can use a low sound that is so low we can't even hear it
Why is oxygen needed to produce ATP?
Oxygen is NOT needed to produce ATP. This is only true for Oxidative Phosphorylation. Substrate Level Phosphorylation does not require ATP at all. While ATP can be produced without oxygen via a process called anaerobic respiration, aerobic respiration is a much more efficient means of ATP production. Aerobic respiration is the release of energy from glucose or another organic substrates in the presence of Oxygen. Strictly speaking aerobic means in air, but it is the Oxygen in the air which is necessary for aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration is in the absence of air. Aerobic respiration takes place in almost all living things. It is easy to get rid of the Carbon Dioxide and excess water; this is excretion (the removal of the toxic waste products of metabolism), and maximum energy is released from the glucose. Some organisms can respire in the absence of air: this is anaerobic respiration. This does not release so much energy and it produces much more toxic waste products. However, if Oxygen is not available, anaerobic respiration is better than nothing. When this happens in our muscles we produce lactic acid which gives you cramp.
What does it mean when squirrels build their nest low in the tree?
The old way of thinking is that if they build their dreys low, there will be a mild winter. Of course when they do so high, its the opposite.
Is bowling a cardio exercise?
No. It's movements are neither vigorous nor sustained enough to yield any increases in cardiovascular efficiency. .
Anaerobic respiration requires low levels of oxygen?
Anaerobic respiration occurs only in the absence of O2. When O2 is present, aerobic processes take over; so it can be said that O2 'poisons' anaerobic biochemistry.
Why does the efficiency of anaerobic pathway is so low?
In cellular respiration, going through the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain create a total of 36 ATP molecules. Without oxygen you only can get 2 ATP molecules because those reactions require oxygen.
Is fungi is anaerobic?
It can live in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions . So , basically it is both ...!
Did aerobic repsiration evolve before anaerobic respiration?
Aerobic means with oxygen Anaerobic means without. So, anaerobic would have to come first.
How are steps of cellular respiration different when it is anaerobic respiration?
Anaerobic means without air, so there is no respiration.
Describe why a high-efficiency machine is more desirable than a low-efficiency machine?
Efficiency is the ratio of the energy converted into useful work by the machine to the energy supplied to the machine. Certainly it will not be possible to convert all the energy supplied into useful work because of wastage of energy due to so many reasons. So efficiency will be always less than 1. As the efficiency becomes more the loss would become less. Hence it is desirable.
What is an example of anaerobic excercise?
The yeast in beer. It lacks oxygen and so reverts to anaerobic respiration, where the byproduct is alcohol.
Is gymnastics anaerobic or aerobic?
well anaerobic doesnt use oxygen and aerobic uses oxygen and gymnastics is a sport so that question doesnt even make sense
Is jogging an anaerobic exercise?
Running, for all humans, starts off as aerobic. But, if, during a run/jog/workout, your body cannot continue to complete aerobic respiration, running then becomes anaerobic (aerobic and anaerobic meaning with and without oxygen). So, if you push your body enough, you will reach anaerobic running. The point at which running goes from aerobic to anaerobic is the anaerobic threshold.
What is missing that makes fermentation anaerobic?
For fermentation to take place, oxygen needs to be completely absent. The word anaerobic means without oxygen. So the missing thing that makes fermentation anaerobic is oxygen.
Why is anaerobic respiration needed in brewing?
so the cat can have sex
