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.
Muscles produce ATP by what pathways?
Actually, there are 3 pathways for creating ATP for muscle contraction. 1) Direct phosphorylation of ADP by creatine phosphate, 2) aerobic respiration and 3) anaerobic glycolysis & lactic acid formation.
What is the function of cellular resperation?
Cellular respiration is the production of energy within a cell. Aerobic respiration requires O2 but is significantly more efficient than anaerobic respiration (without oxygen). In humans we cannot maintain life on anaerobic respiration alone, it is used for short periods of time to maintain small amounts of ATP that are required to begin aerobic respiration.
What are disadvantages of fermentation when compared to the processes 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.
Anaerobic catabolism of organic nutrients is called?
Anaerobiosis is another term for anaerobic respiration. Fermentation is also sometimes used interchangeably with anaerobic respiration.I agree with the above; however, we recently discussed this and as far as fermentation is concerned, there are many types; the two most common are: lactic acid fermentation and alcohol fermentation. = =
Advantages and disadvantages of anaerobic respiration?
An advantage of anaerobic respiration is that it does not need oxygen. A disadvantage is that only small amounts of energy are produced.
What is the by - product of respiration?
The two products of respiration are carbon dioxide and water. The latter is commonly seen as byproduct, though it comes in (about) equal amounts.(In anaerobic respiration even carbon dioxide might not be a product at all: )Example: microbial anaerobic 'methanogenesis'CH3COOH → CH4 + CO2 and CO2 + 4H2 → CH4 + 2H2O
Which process yields lactic acid and small amounts of energy?
anaerobic respiration
Is Lactic Acid formed in Aerobic respiration?
No it is not formed in aerobic respiration. It is produced in anaerobic respiration

What is the process by which cells get energy from food without using oxygen?
Cells can use a process called anaerobic respiration or fermentation to produce energy from food without using oxygen. This process involves breaking down glucose into energy in the absence of oxygen, resulting in the production of small amounts of ATP and waste products like lactic acid or ethanol. Anaerobic respiration is less efficient than aerobic respiration but can provide a quick burst of energy when oxygen levels are low.

What happens if no oxygen is available to accept electrons during aerobic respiration?
Without oxygen to accept electrons during aerobic respiration, the electron transport chain cannot proceed. This disrupts the production of ATP, which is the main energy source for the cell. As a result, the cell may switch to anaerobic respiration, producing less ATP and potentially leading to a build-up of lactic acid or other byproducts.

What are the similarities between aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration?
In both aerobic respiration oxygen is used up while in anaerobic respiration oxygen is noy used up i.e. energy is produced without the consumption of oxygen. If we talk about in biological process then in aerobic respiration glucose is burnt in the presence of oxygen to release energy producing 38 ATP producing carbon dioxide and water.While in anaerobic respiration glucose or any other substrate is burnt without the peresence of oxygen producing 2 ATP of energy and generally alcohol(ethyl alcohol) is produced. the similarity between them is that in both process substate is burnt to release energy.Secondly, both are continuous and occur with some specified steps. BY PINK GURL : IN AEROBIC RESPIRATION THERE IS AN INTAKE OF OXYGEN , LARGE AMOUNTS OF ENERGY IS RELEASES AND THERE IS COMPLETE BREAKDOWN i.e if there are 3 O2 molecules then all these molecules will break . IN ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION , THERE IS NO INTAKE OF OXYGEN , IT PROVIDES ONE WITH LESS ENERGY AND THERE IS NO COMPLETE BREAKDOWN. THE SIMILARITY OS THAT BOTH RELEASE ENERGY AND BOTH ARE A TYPE OF RESPIRATION
Is an oxygen debt aerobic or anaerobic?
Oxygen debt is a side-effect of anaerobic respiration caused by a build up of lactic acid that needs to be broken down. This is because in anaerobic respiration short amounts of energy are made without oxygen used (only glucose) and this oxygen needs to be repaid.
