Initially, no.

Anaerobic exercise is really a misnomer. The work done still requires oxygen it is just that the oxygen is supplied eventually and not while performing the action. This is because the body is using glucose to the point of producing lactic acid. This is feasible for a short period of time, but eventually the oxygen debt created while using this pathway has to be repaid to deal with the lactic acid by converting it back into glucose. A good example is a sprint. After the end of the sprint there is a period of recuperation and panting required.

What does not use oxygen in it metabolism?

Anaerobic organisms do not use oxygen in their metabolism. These organisms can generate energy through fermentation or anaerobic respiration, which does not require oxygen. Examples include certain types of bacteria and yeast.


20 How do facultative anaerobic bacteria differ from the other two?

Facultative anaerobic bacteria can switch between using aerobic and anaerobic metabolism depending on oxygen availability. Obligate anaerobic bacteria cannot survive in the presence of oxygen and rely only on anaerobic metabolism, while obligate aerobic bacteria require oxygen for survival and use aerobic metabolism exclusively.


What does anaerobic metabolism convert?

Anaerobic metabolism converts glucose into energy without the use of oxygen. This process results in the production of lactate or lactic acid as a byproduct.


What metabolism requires the use of oxygen?

Aerobic metabolism requires the use of oxygen. In this process, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP, the cell's energy currency. Aerobic metabolism is more efficient than anaerobic metabolism, which occurs in the absence of oxygen.


Is monera aerobic or anaerobic?

Monera bacteria can be aerobic (requiring oxygen for metabolism) or anaerobic (able to thrive without oxygen). Some species are capable of both aerobic and anaerobic metabolism, depending on the environment they are in.


What are processes that do not use oxygen?

Processes that do not use oxygen are anaerobic processes. Some examples include fermentation, anaerobic respiration, and certain types of metabolism that occur in environments with low oxygen levels. Anaerobic processes typically produce less energy than aerobic processes.


Differentiate aerobic respiration from anaerobic respiration?

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and occurs in the presence of oxygen, producing more ATP compared to anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen and generates less ATP.


Whats the difference between anaerobic and aerobic?

Anaerobic processes do not require oxygen to produce energy, while aerobic processes do require oxygen. Anaerobic metabolism usually produces lactic acid as a byproduct, while aerobic metabolism produces carbon dioxide and water.


Why is the citric acid cycle called an anaerobic cycle when it does not use oxygen?

The fact that it does not use oxygen is precisely why it is anaerobic. Anaerobic means without oxygen. If it did use oxygen, it'll be called aerobic.


What describes a process that does not require oxygen it means without air?

The term for a process that does not require oxygen is anaerobic. Anaerobic processes can take place in environments without air or in the absence of oxygen. This type of metabolism typically produces byproducts such as lactic acid or ethanol.


What is anaerobic metabolism?

The body's metabolic process usually involves the oxidation of glucose. When the body cannot get enough oxygen to meet the demands for energy, cells begin using the anaerobic process (without oxygen). This process breaks down glucose and glycogen to lactic acid which then diffuses into the blood stream. The result of anaerobic metabolism can be seen in athletes who are rapidly using energy, at a faster rate than oxygen can be re-supplied to the muscles. Lactic acid build up impedes muscle functions, causing pain and sometimes nausea.


Organisms that are poisoned by oxygen and must live in very low oxygen regions are called?

Obligate anaerobes are poisoned by O2 and use fermentation or anaerobic respiration
