Yes generally aerobic respiration releases around 38 ATP while anerobic respiration only produces 4.

When there is not enough oxygen for aerobic respiration what is that called?

During times of insufficient oxygen, the cell undergoes glycolysis, where 2 existing molecules of ATP can form 4 molecules and pyruvic acid. This is an insignificant amount compared to 38 molecules of ATP made by the cellular respiration, which is why it is important to always have enough oxygen.


Fermentation occurs when a cell does not get enough what?

Fermentation occurs when a cell does not get enough oxygen to carry out aerobic respiration. Instead, the cell uses anaerobic pathways to produce energy in the form of ATP.


How are aerobic respiration anaerobic respiration different?

aerobic respiration uses oxygen and anaerobic doesn't; also aerobic produces more ATP or cellular energy***Apex: Oxygen is necessary for aerobic respiration but not for anaerobic respiration.


Why does every living organism depend on respiration?

Respiration is the process that releases energy from nutrients in food for cellular activities. This energy is essential for the survival and functioning of living organisms by providing the necessary ATP molecules needed for various biological processes like growth, movement, and reproduction. Without respiration, organisms would be unable to generate enough energy to sustain life.


What is the difference between aerobic respiration?

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, whereas anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen. Aerobic respiration is completed in three steps viz, Glycolysis, Kreb's Cycle and Electron transport chain; whereas anaerobic respiration is completed in Glycolysis. Aerobic respiration involves carbon dioxide as the major excretory by-product, whereas in anaerobic respiration, along with carbon dioxide, ethyl alcohol (in case of plants) and lactic acid (in case of animals) is liberated.

Why is release of energy more in aerobic respiration?

This releases enough energy to produce up to 38 ATP molecules.


What are two advantages of anaerobic respiration?

The main advantage to anaerobic respiration is that, unlike aerobic respiration which releases energy all at once, anaerobic respiration releases energy in short outbursts when necessary. (when muscle cells can't get enough oxygen) Therefore, your energy lasts a lot longer.


What would happen if our mitochondria did not have access to oxygen?

Aerobic respiration will be stopped. Body will not get enough energy


When lactate builds up in a runners muscle it causes a burning sensations. What causes this to occur?

The muscles do not have enough oxygen for aerobic respiration.


Is energy released more slowly in anaerobic respiration than aerobic respiration?

Aerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration that occurs when there is no enough oxygen in the respiratory cells. It is considered to be less efficient since it produces less energy as compared to aerobic respiration.


When does your body need to use anaerobic respiration?

Your body uses anaerobic respiration when there is not enough oxygen available to produce energy through aerobic respiration. This can happen during high-intensity activities like sprinting or weightlifting. Anaerobic respiration produces energy quickly but also leads to the accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles.


How does fermantation different from respiration?

Fermentation occurs when there is not enough oxygen available to perform respiration. In respiration, glucose is combined with oxygen to form CO2, H2O, and energy. In fermentation, glucose is broken down into CO2 and ethanol, which releases less energy.


What process do cells use when they do not have enough oxygen for respiration?

Cells use a process called anaerobic respiration or fermentation when they do not have enough oxygen for respiration. This process allows for the production of energy in the absence of oxygen, but it is less efficient than aerobic respiration. It usually produces lactic acid or ethanol as byproducts.

What causes burning sensation In muscles?

The muscles do not have enough oxygen for aerobic respiration.


What is the value of anaerobic respiration to your system?

It allows us to make energy when our cells are not getting oxygen, but in return produces lactic acid. This is not a significant energy source because it only gives the body 2 ATP unlike aerobic respiration which gives around 25 times that amount. Anearobic respiration is used when you sprint because you rapidly use up energy and don't have oxygen coming in fast enough to do aerobic respiration, so it makes up for that using anaerobic respiration.
