By anaerobic pathways I suppose you mean without oxygen. Sources of energy that do not use oxygen are nuclear, wind, solar, hydro, tidal, geothermal. At present we get most of our energy from fossil fuels which do use oxygen. Hydro can be enough in some areas but not the world as a whole. Nuclear would seem to be the only one that could be expanded to exclude fossil fuels but it would mean a huge expansion in the industry.

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.


Why is it not possible to survive cyanide poisoning by using anaerobic respiration alone?

Anaerobic respiration still requires oxygen to create a limited amount of energy. Cyanide prevents cells from using oxygen to create this energy, rendering both aerobic and anaerobic respiration ineffective. Without oxygen being used in cellular respiration, cells cannot produce enough energy to survive.


Why does your body use anaerobic respiration?

Your body uses anaerobic respiration when there is not enough oxygen available to produce energy through aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration produces energy quickly but less efficiently, resulting in the accumulation of lactic acid as a byproduct which can cause muscle fatigue and soreness.


Two examples of physical activities in the anaerobic system?

Sprinting and weightlifting are common examples of physical activities that primarily utilize the anaerobic energy system. These activities require short bursts of high-intensity effort that exceed the body's ability to deliver oxygen to the muscles quickly enough, resulting in the reliance on anaerobic energy production for fuel.


When is Anaerobic Respiration used in humans?

Weightlifting is a good example. Instead of using oxygen to produce energy, your cells break down glucose into lactic acid and energy. Compare that to an aerobic exercise, such as running. Whour body uses oxygen to produce energy. Your body needs more oxygen, so you breathe faster and more heavily. Chuis

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 is the chemical substance formed in the anaerobic respiration in muscles?

Lactic acid is the chemical substance formed during anaerobic respiration in muscles when there is not enough oxygen available to meet energy demands.


What energy releasing process may take place when cells don't have enough oxygen?

anaerobic respiration

What substance accumulates in cell as a result anaerobic metabolism?

Lactic acid accumulates in cells as a result of anaerobic metabolism. This occurs when cells do not have enough oxygen to produce energy through aerobic respiration, and instead rely on anaerobic glycolysis to generate ATP.

Which of the following statements describes the process of anaerobic glycolysis A The body breaks down oxygen and glycogen to produce energy B The body partially breaks down glucose to?

The body manufactures ATP by breaking down glycogen or glucose. The ATP is then partially broken down to provide energy, leaving behind lactic acid. After about three minutes of activity, enough lactic acid accumulates around the muscles to cause muscle fatigue. No oxygen is involved in this anaerobic process.


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.

Which part of human body respires anaerobically and why?

Muscle cells can respire anaerobically during intense exercise when there is not enough oxygen available to meet the demands for energy. This leads to the production of lactic acid as a byproduct. Anaerobic respiration helps provide quick bursts of energy when oxygen is limited, but it is less efficient than aerobic respiration.
