Cells that do not require oxygen go through anaerobic respiration, which is a form of cellular respiration that uses fermentation to turn energy into useful energy. There are two types of anaerobic respiration, lactic acid fermentation and alcohol fermentation. Muscle cells do this when they run out of oxygen and go through fermentation instead. The product of this type of fermentation from muscle cells is lactic acid. Lactic acid is toxic and causes soreness and fatigue. Anybody who has been sore after exercise has experienced lactic acid fermentation.

What are some benefits of participating in oxygen therapy?
Oxygen Therapy is offered at most hospitals. The benefits of participating in oxygen therapy include keeping stem cells healthier, which in the long run potentially increase one's lifespan.
When pore spaces in the ground are holding as much water as they possibly can the ground is?
what happens to the ground is it is stripped of its oxygen levels and the water begins to overflow and run off
Can earth run out of oxygen?
If we cut down all the tree's it could. Tree's recycle carbon dioxide and turn it into oxygen.
What percent of all oxygen taken in is used to run the heart?
90%
What happens when plates of the earth run into each other and buckle?
it will create a large sonic boom.
What happens when muscles are exercised without sufficient oxygen?
well if muscles run out of oxygen you might slow down and not breath proppely and you might also die.
Why cant you run for as long if you have less oxygen in your blood?
because your blood carries oxygen to you muscles. without much oxygen blood won't be able to take lots to your muscles, and with little oxygen your muscles won't work as well and therefore you won't run as quickly :)
What do muscle cells run low on after a workout?
Muscle cells need more oxygen when they are working hard. When you are working very hard and you begin to respire anaerobically (when the muscles don't get enough oxygen so work without it) your muscles produce a bi product of lactic acid, which is what makes them ache.Your muscles need oxygen to break down this acid into water and carbon dioxide, and this is called an oxygen debt.That is why you keep breathing heavily after you have stopped doing the activity.
When a sportsman run he get muscle cramp?
as there is a lack of oxygen in his muscle cells anothe pathway for brewakdown is akenits converted to lactic acid which accumilates in our muscles maria :)
What happens to muscles when there is not enough oxygen?
oxygen debt. more oxygen is needed than what is being supplied. the body then begins anaerobic respiration (the cells "breathe" for you). a result of anaerobic respiration is lactic acid. lactic acid is that soreness feeling you get after a hard workout
Why do your muscle cells respire more when you run?
During muscle contraction/relaxation, energy is used up; this happens to greater degrees depending on how strenuous the exercise may be. When you run, or during aerobic respiration, the muscle cell's oxygen uptake increases; this is because oxygen is required to produce ATP when the muscle cells are respiring aerobically.
Why do your pulse rate increase when you are running?
Your muscles need oxygen to work and oxygen is carried through the blood, propelled by the heart. When you run, you use muscles and your heart beats faster to increase the amount of oxygen reaching the muscles being used.
When a organism dies how long does it take for the cells to die?
until the cells run out of oxygen
Do your muscles run low on oxygen?
Yes. When your muscles don't get enough oxygen they must obtain oxygen through a process called lactic acid fermentation. The lactic acid that forms as a result causes a burning sensation.
During strenerous activity muscle cells run low on what?
Oxygen
What do muscule cells run low on?
Mostly just oxygen and water.
What happens to the muscles in a runner's body when they run?
They contract and release to move your body
