Why is it better for human muscle cells to produce energy through aerobic respiration?

First of all, an efficient respiration system is vital for ALL sportspeople, not just some. But it is vital because your muscles need oxygen to continually perform at a high level. When you engage in physical activity such as a sport, your muscles fatigue and lose oxygen which needs to be replaced in order for you to be able to keep playing. An efficient respiration system transports oxygen quicker to the muscles then an average respiration system does. But sportspeople do certain drills and running to improve the respiration system, typically called cardio.

∙ 15y agoBecause...if you dont breathe...the amount of CO2 in your body builds up... and therfore the amount of oxygen decreases... fo shizzle

∙ 10y agoIt is better for human muscle cells to produce energy through aerobic respiration than anaerobic respiration because aerobic respiration produces more energy per glucose molecule.

How does the purpose of the Krebs cycle different from the purpose of the Calvin cycle?
what are two reasons why is it better for human muscle cells to produce energy through aerobic respiration than through anaerobic respiration
What processes occur in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
In both, ATP is produced. In Fermentation, each turn of the cycle produces 2 ATP, and in Aerobic Cellular Respiration, each turn of the cycle produces 38 ATP. You can see which one works better...the huge difference in the number of ATP produced.
What bacterium doesn't need oxygen?
Microbes or bacteria that grow in an anaerobic environment don't need oxygen. They cannot generate energy through aerobic respiration and must employ fermentation or anaerobic respiration for this purpose. They can be: FACULTATIVE ANAEROBES: do not require oxygen for growth, but grow better in its presence. AEROTOLERANT ANAEROBES: such as Enterococcus faecallis, simply ignore oxygen and grow equally well whether it is present or not. STRICT/OBLIGATE ANAEROBES: do not tolerate oxygen at all and die in its presence, e.g., Bacteroides, Fusobacterium, Clostridium pasteurianum, Methanococcus, Neocallimastix, etc.
Respiration refers to Physiologically in what way?
Obviously you are stupid. Go to: www.answers.yahoo.com It is a way better website
Why do you need to produce new varieties?
For better adaptability and greater economic values
Give two reasons why it is better for human muscle cells to produce energy through aerobic respiration than through anaerobic respiration?
Aerobic means "with oxygen" and anaerobic means "without oxygen." Cells produce energy at a might higher and faster rate with oxygen than without.

Why is aerobic respiration better than aerobic respiration for producing energy in your muscles?
Because anaerobic respiration releases less energy than aerobic respiration.
Why is aerobic better than aerobic respiration for producing energy in your muscles?
Because anaerobic respiration releases less energy than aerobic respiration.

The main result of aerobic respiration?
Increased heart rate causing a better metabolism. You'll lose weight since your body will burn fat more effieciently.
Differentiate aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
Hi, For this answer, i am assuming you have some high school biology knowledge (general understanding of glycolysis, kreb cycle, pyruvate oxidation etc..) Anaerobic respriation and fermentation differ in the chemical pathways. Fermentation occurs when the pyruvate (or some derivative of it) that is produced after glycolysis is reduced by NADH to usually form an organic compound (lactic acid in lactic acid fermentation and ethanol in alcoholic fermentation). It is important to note that fermentation does not have to occur in anaerobic evironments, for example yeast prefers fermentation even in the presence of oxygen (as long as sugars are available). Therefore, the defining characteristic of fermentation is that the electrons from the coenzymes (NADH from the glycolosis) are transfered back to part of the original substrate (pyruvate). Note that the electrons are donated to something which came from within the cell (pyruvate). On the other hand, anaerobic respiration is actually very similar to aerobic respiration. In anaerobic respiration, you would go through glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, kreb cycle and then electron transfer chain just as you would in aerobic respiration with the difference that that the terminal electron acceptor is NOT oxgyen (nitrate, nitrite etc..). The defining characteristic here is that the terminal electron acceptor is anything by oxygen but otherwise, it is very similar to aerobic respiration. Note that the electrons are donated to something which came from outside the cell (nitrate, nitrite etc..). Therefore, fermentation goes something like glycolysis -> donating electron back to pyruvate or a derivative of pyruvate (electron acceptor from internal source); while anaerobic respiration goes something like glycolysis -> pyruvate oxidation -> kreb cycle -> electron transfer chain with terminal electron acceptor being anything but oxygen (electron acceptor from external source). Hope this made sense
Why do most complex organisms undergo aerobic respiration rather than anaerobic respiration?
During anaerobic respiration, such as fermentation, pyruvic acid and NADH form the products of alchohol and carbon dioxide and NAD+. In aerobic respiration there are many more steps in the Krebs cycle to make the products of carbon dioxide, NADH, ATP, and FADH2 from pyruvic acid.Therefore aerobic respiration is much more complex than aerobic respiration.
Do plants and animals go through cellular respiration?
Yes, they do. Mostly any organism containing cells will go through cellular respiration. Plants and Animals have different body systems, the cardiovascular and respiratory being involved in cellular respiration. The cells need oxygen to survive, therefore they respirate to be able to.
Why is oxygen needed to produce ATP?
Oxygen is NOT needed to produce ATP. This is only true for Oxidative Phosphorylation. Substrate Level Phosphorylation does not require ATP at all. While ATP can be produced without oxygen via a process called anaerobic respiration, aerobic respiration is a much more efficient means of ATP production. Aerobic respiration is the release of energy from glucose or another organic substrates in the presence of Oxygen. Strictly speaking aerobic means in air, but it is the Oxygen in the air which is necessary for aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration is in the absence of air. Aerobic respiration takes place in almost all living things. It is easy to get rid of the Carbon Dioxide and excess water; this is excretion (the removal of the toxic waste products of metabolism), and maximum energy is released from the glucose. Some organisms can respire in the absence of air: this is anaerobic respiration. This does not release so much energy and it produces much more toxic waste products. However, if Oxygen is not available, anaerobic respiration is better than nothing. When this happens in our muscles we produce lactic acid which gives you cramp.
Why aerobic excersise is better to reduce weight?
Aerobic exercise involves large muscle groups, increase the body's needs for oxygen. Running, jogging or going out are all good forms of aerobic exercise.
