What must the heart do when muscle cells are oxygen deprived?
continue aerobic metabolism when skeletal muscle cannotcontinue aerobic metabolism when the skeletal muscle cannot
From what conditions do anaerobes get their energy?
In the absence of oxygen in the absence of oxygen
What tissues can survive longest in the absence of adequate oxygen anaerobic conditions by deriving energy from the anaerobic metabolism of glucose molecules?
skeletal muscle
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.
What is an organic substance produced when a muscle is generating energy in the absence of oxygen?
Lactic Acid. when too much accumulates, your muscles become sore.
What is needed for living muscle to contract?
A living muscle needs oxygen in the blood and muscle elasticity to contract and move.
Factors that inhibit muscle contraction?
Muscle fatigue is the main factor that inhibits muscle contraction. Muscles need oxygen and energy to contract and muscle fatigue is the lack of oxygen in a muscle. The build up of lactic acid is a factor of muscle fatigue.
When do cells use fermentation?
fermentation occurs in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic respiration). in muscle cells, when the blood supply is inadequate, anaerobic respiration takes place and the glucose is converted into lactic acid in the absence of oxygen :)
What process allows muscle cells to continue to release energy in the absence of sufficient oxygen?
When the muscle cells are deprived of oxygen, the cells produce ATP through the anaerobic fermentation. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and does not need oxygen. In the glycolysis pathway, two ATPs are produced as net products. Also, anaerobic fermentation occurs. The pyuvate is converted into lactic acid and regnerate NAD using this process.

What is anaerobic exercise?
anaerobic exercise is an exercise whereby an an individual is active in the absence of oxygen.
When is anaerobic respiration utilized in your bodies?
Anaerobic respiration occurs whenever oxygen can't be delivered to the muscle when it needs to contract.
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.
Does lactic acid affect performance?
Yes; lactic acid is the reason muscles cramp. It is a byproduct of when muscle cells perform glycolosis for energy in the absence of oxygen (occurs during repeated exercise of the muscle tissue because oxygen cannot be delivered fast enough).
How can a skeletal muscle produce additional ATP when there is not enough oxygen?
Anaerobic fermentation enables a cell to produce ATP in the absence of oxygen but the ATP yield is very limited and the process produces a toxic end product, lactic acid, which is a major factor in muscle fatigue.
