When a person is no longer able to deliver enough oxygen to muscle cells during heavy exercise the cells begin to carry out anaerobic respiration which is the same type carried out by many bacteria?
Yes. They begin use lactic acid fermentation, a type of anerobic respiration.
What is formed during the process of anaerobic lactic acid fermentation?
Lactic acid which may cause fatigue if in muscles .
What kind of organisms carry out respiration?
Anaerobes like archaebacteria and other microorganisms
Can a human survive from only using anaerobic respiration?
Because, the link reaction and the Krebs cycle in respiration can only occur when there is oxygen present. When there is no oxygen available (i.e under anaerobic conditions), the electron transfer chain (etc) can not pass on its electron (as oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the etc). So, the electrons build up in the etc, therefore, electrons from the hydrogen from reduced NAD can no longer be accepted by the cytochromes in the etc. Because of this, no reduced NAD can be converted into oxidised NAD, and hence there is nothing to accept the hydrogens produced in the link reaction and Krebs cycle. Hence the etc and Krebs cycle grind to a halt. Glycloysis, however, can still occur in anaerobic conditions. However, as there is no NAD to accept the hydrogens produced in glycolysis ( due to the blocked etc), the pyruvate formed in glycolysis acts as a hydrogen acceptor. This forms lactic acid, which builds up in the the muscle tissue (and gives you 'stitch') Anaerobic respiration produces a fraction of the ATP that wound be synthesised in aerobic conditions (about 10% i think)
True or false Fermentation may occur in a muscle under anaerobic conditions?
false
What substances are formed from respiration?
In biology, respiration may refer to the process happening at the cellular level where nutrients are converted to energy, or the respiration of the body as a whole. In the latter, oxygen is taken into the body, and carbon dioxide is formed as a byproduct.
What is answer of respiration?
respiration means oxidation of food. it may be aerobic or anaerobic based on the essence of oxygen. in general we define respiration as breathing
What energy releasing process may take place when cells don't have enough oxygen?
anaerobic respiration
What during cellular respiration?
During cellular respiration the Glucose is broken down. It may be in either of two processes- Aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. In Aerobic respiration there is break down of glucose in CO2 and H2O along with energy in presence of O2. This can be shown in following reaction C6H12O6 + O2 --------> CO2 + H2O + Energy And in anaerobic respiration glucose is broken down in any alcohol.
Cellular respiration is called an aerobic process because?
Some forms of cellular respiration may be referred to as aerobic respiration because OXYGEN is used in the process. Those forms wherein oxygen is NOT used are referred to anaerobic respiration.
What chemical starts respiration?
glucose is oxidised in 2 ways -with oxygen (aerobic) -without oxygen(anaerobic) aerobic respiration takes place in mitochondria . glucose in cytoplasm forms pyruvic acid is converted into carbon di oxide 38 ATP of energy and water anaerobic respiration may take place in muscle cells or RBCs in this glucose is converted into pyruvic acid in cytoplasm which changes to -lactic acid, water and 2 ATP of energy in muscle cells and RBCs -in yeast anaerobic respiration takes place pyruvic acid formed from glucose is converted to form alchohol and water as well as 2 ATP of energy
Which type of anaerobic respiration occurs in animals during overexertion?
When muscles overexert, the available oxygen may run out and they resort to anaerobic metabolism creating lactic acid which is what causes the soreness felt after exercise.

Are new substances formed in a physical?
No new substances are formed in physical changes. A existing substance may change forms (liquid water may turn to water vapour or ice) but a new substance is never formed.
What kind of organisms carry out respiration?
Anaerobes like archaebacteria and other microorganisms
What kind of chemical reactions that release energy from sugars?
The oxidation/ reduction of sugars release energy during respiration. The phenomenon of liberation of energy from sugars is a katabolic process. It may be aerobic or anaerobic.The oxidation/ reduction of sugars release energy during respiration. The phenomenon of liberation of energy from sugars is a katabolic process.
