For as long as the muscle cell can it relies on oxygen as the final electron acceptor of the electron transfer chain because with this energetic process a net gain of ~ 34 ATP can be realized. When the body can not port sufficient oxygen to the cells fast enough a process called glycolisis takes over. Too complex to explain here, but suffice it to say that only 2 ATP can be generated in this process as NAD+ constantly has to be reduced and re-oxidized in a cycle to keep this pinch penny process going.

What are the events that lead to fermentation in aerobic organisms?
Fermentation in aerobic organisms usually occurs when there is not enough oxygen available for cellular respiration. This can happen during vigorous exercise, when the demand for oxygen exceeds the amount that can be supplied to the muscles. As a result, muscle cells revert to fermentation to generate energy, producing lactic acid as a byproduct. This process allows the cells to continue generating ATP, albeit at a lower efficiency compared to aerobic respiration.
What types of cellular respiration and fermentation occu while exercising?
During exercise, aerobic cellular respiration primarily takes place in the muscles, utilizing oxygen to produce energy. In the absence of sufficient oxygen, anaerobic fermentation occurs, leading to the production of lactate as a byproduct. This can result in muscle fatigue and soreness.
Do your body cells always use cellular respiration and fermentation?
No, not all body cells always use cellular respiration and fermentation. Different cells in the body have different energy needs and can switch between these processes depending on factors such as oxygen availability and energy requirements. Cells like muscle cells primarily use aerobic respiration, while certain microorganisms and muscle cells can use fermentation in the absence of oxygen.
Lactic acid fermentation occurs in muscle cells when is in low supply?
Lactic acid fermentation occurs due to the lack of oxygen in the the muscle cells Aerobic respiration requires oxygen as an electron receiver to complete the electron transport system, so without it, the cells will be unable to undergo normal respiration and will resort to lactic acid fermentation
When would our muscle cells utilize lactic acid fermentation during physical activity?
Muscle cells utilize lactic acid fermentation during physical activity when there is not enough oxygen available to produce energy through aerobic respiration. This typically occurs during intense exercise or when the body is under stress.

Where in your body can you use anaerobic respiration?
In your muscle cells. In your case, the only fermentation your cells are going through is lactic acid fermentation (and not alcohol fermentation). Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen. If there is oxygen present, then your cells will go through aerobic respiration normally. However, there are times when your cells lack oxygen, as in intense exercise. When cells can do both aerobic and anaerobic respiration, it is called facultative respiration.

How long can anaerobic respiration sustain maximum muscle activity?
Skeletal muscle fibers can get ATP from 3 sources: -Phosphagen system (a few seconds) -Anaerobic fermentation (less than 2 minutes) -Aerobic respiration (indefinite)
Why does the human body prefer to use aerobics respiration instead of lactic acid fermentation?
The human body prefers aerobic respiration because it produces significantly more ATP (energy) compared to lactic acid fermentation—up to 36 ATP molecules per glucose molecule versus just 2 ATP from fermentation. Aerobic respiration also fully oxidizes glucose, resulting in minimal byproducts, whereas fermentation leads to lactic acid accumulation, which can cause muscle fatigue and discomfort. Additionally, aerobic respiration is more efficient for sustained energy needs during prolonged physical activities.
What when deficient in muscle cells causes lactic acid fermentation instead of aerobic respiration?
When the muscle cells have insufficient oxygen, lactic acid is fermented to provide energy. This is the familiar burning sensation like "stiches".
Lactic acid fermentation occurs in muscle cells when is in low supply?
Lactic acid fermentation occurs due to the lack of oxygen in the the muscle cells Aerobic respiration requires oxygen as an electron receiver to complete the electron transport system, so without it, the cells will be unable to undergo normal respiration and will resort to lactic acid fermentation
What happen when no oxygen is present for respiration?
Fermentation
When would our muscle cells utilize lactic acid fermentation during physical activity?
Muscle cells utilize lactic acid fermentation during physical activity when there is not enough oxygen available to produce energy through aerobic respiration. This typically occurs during intense exercise or when the body is under stress.
Which type of fermentation causes muscle soreness?
Muscles use aerobic respiration to metabolize the energy they need to function. When they have insufficient oxygen to metabolize all the energy they need, they use anaerobic respiration in the form of fermentation. The Lactic acid which is created as a by product of fermentation builds up in the muscles and causes soreness.
