During the process of aerobic respiration, a form of energy known as adenosine triphosphate or ATP is made. This ATP usually mixes with oxygen to help the body do its necessary functions. If however, there is not enough oxygen going into your body, the ATP begins to dwindle and go into its reserve. Once these occurs your body begins making a by-product know as lactic acid
What else can I help you with?
What do muscle cells produce when they are deprived of oxygen?
The muscles will produce lactic acid which feels like the muscles are burning.
When muscle cells are deprived of oxygen they produce?
The muscles will produce lactic acid which feels like the muscles are burning.
When no oxygen is present for muscle cells after glycolysis what will the cell produce?
In the absence of oxygen after glycolysis, muscle cells will produce lactic acid through the process of fermentation. This allows the cells to regenerate NAD+ needed for glycolysis to continue in the absence of oxygen.
How do a muscle produce ATP?
creatine phosphate, anerobic cellular respiration, and areobic cellular respiration all produce ATP.
Do skeletal muscle produce lactic acid when the body cannot supply enough oxygen?
yes
How can a skeletal muscle produce additional ATP when there is not enough oxygen?
Anaerobic fermentation enables a cell to produce ATP in the absence of oxygen but the ATP yield is very limited and the process produces a toxic end product, lactic acid, which is a major factor in muscle fatigue.
Why the oxygen concentration in muscle cells may be low during vigorous activity?
During vigorous activity, muscle cells require more oxygen to produce energy through aerobic metabolism. However, the rate of oxygen consumption may exceed the rate at which oxygen is delivered to the muscle cells, leading to a low oxygen concentration. This can result in the switch to anaerobic metabolism, producing lactic acid and leading to muscle fatigue.
Why would muscle cells bother with fermentation?
Fermentation is a way to produce energy when there isn't enough oxygen available.
Does that Skeletal muscle produces lactic acid when the body connot supply enough oxygen?
Yes, during periods of intense exercise when oxygen supply is limited, skeletal muscle can produce lactic acid through anaerobic metabolism. This can lead to muscle fatigue and soreness.
What role does calcium and oxygen have in muscle contraction?
Calcium plays a key role in muscle contraction by binding to troponin, which allows tropomyosin to move and expose actin binding sites for myosin. Oxygen is needed in the process of cellular respiration to produce ATP, which is the energy source for muscle contraction to occur efficiently. Oxygen is also used to replenish ATP and remove waste products during muscle activity.
How oxygen becomes availiable to a muscle tissue for respiration?
Oxygen becomes available to muscle tissue primarily through the respiratory and circulatory systems. When we inhale, oxygen enters the lungs and diffuses into the bloodstream, where it binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells. The heart then pumps this oxygen-rich blood through the arteries to the muscle tissues. Once at the muscles, oxygen is released from hemoglobin and diffuses into the cells, where it is used for aerobic respiration to produce energy.
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.
