We use oxygen to burn sugar to make ATP energy. ATP is cellular money and without it many processes cannot occur. Depletion in ATP energy can be felt by lack of energy.

How is the lack of oxygen related to the lack of energy?

oxygen makes energy in animals. when there is a lack of oxygen in the body, cell respiration stops, and ferminantation begins; this is hwere the cell uses carbon dioxide for energy. this is a temporary fix only, though. it also secretes an acid into your muscles; that's what causes cramps. then, if oxygen gets cut off completely, the cells can no longer use ferminentation and the creature dies.


Why do lipids store so much energy?

They lack the oxygen atoms of carbs and proteins.


Why does your heart have to beat faster when exercising?

Exercising requires energy which requires oxygen to make. After the initial burst of energy is used up, not enough oxygen is being supplied to the heart so it then must work harder to pump blood. Therefore the lack of energy causes lack of oxygen causes heart to beat faster to compensate.


What is lack of oxygen?

Medically, lack of oxygen is referred to as, "Hypoxia."


How do your muscles continue to get energy when you lack oxygen?

When you lack oxygen, your muscles can still produce energy through a process called anaerobic metabolism. This metabolic pathway does not require oxygen and produces energy quickly but less efficiently than aerobic metabolism. As a result, lactic acid may build up in the muscles, causing fatigue and soreness.


When breathing stops from lack of oxygen is called what?

When breathing stops from lack of oxygen


What cause us to breathe?

Lack of oxygen in the cells. Cellular respiration requires oxygen. Without oxygen, the cells acquire the energy they need from lactic acid fermentation. (This is the cause of muscle pain after workouts).


How are respiration and photosynthesis related to each other?

Well they are both related because they both have to do something with energy, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.


What is CP Asphyxia?

Asphyxia-- Lack of oxygen. In the case of cerebral palsy, lack of oxygen to the brain.


Why does your body need oxygen to combine with your food?

Your body needs oxygen to break down food molecules and release energy through a process called cellular respiration. This chemical reaction is essential for producing ATP, the energy currency of cells. Without oxygen, this process cannot occur efficiently, leading to a lack of energy production in the body.


What gas is not present when lactic acid is produced from glucose for energy?

If a cell is switching to anaerobic respiration, it's because there is a lack of oxygen.


Can respiration occur if there is a lack of oxygen?

No, respiration cannot occur without oxygen. Oxygen is essential for the process of cellular respiration, which is the process by which cells break down glucose to produce energy. Without oxygen, cells are unable to generate energy efficiently and may not survive.
