What do the cells use for energy when there is no oxygen for the cells?
Cells can produce energy through a process called anaerobic respiration when there is no oxygen available. During anaerobic respiration, cells break down glucose to produce energy without using oxygen. This process produces lactic acid or alcohol as byproducts.
Why do muscles get tired during anaerobic respiration?
When muscle cells undergo anaerobic respiration they become fatigued and painful due to the buildup of pyruvate in cells. The pyruvate is converted to lactic acid.
Accumulates as the end product of anaerobic respiration in muscle cells?
The ending product of anaerobic respiration in muscle cells is lactic acid.
What is anaerobic respiration and give two examples of anaerobic respiration?
Anaerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration that occurs in the absence of oxygen, yielding energy by breaking down glucose. Examples of anaerobic respiration include fermentation in yeast cells, where glucose is converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide, and lactic acid fermentation in muscle cells, where glucose is converted into lactic acid.
What type of cells obtain energy from cellular respiration?
All cells obtain energy from cellular respiration. Some undergo anaerobic respiration and some undergo aerobic respiration.
What is the process in which cells obtain energy without oxygen?
Cells obtain energy without oxygen through a process called anaerobic respiration, which includes fermentation. During anaerobic respiration, glucose is partially broken down to produce ATP without the use of oxygen. This process is less efficient than aerobic respiration but can sustain cells when oxygen is limited or unavailable.
What do aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration have in common?
Both aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration are processes that cells use to generate energy from food molecules.
How can cells produce ATP without oxygen?
Cells can produce ATP without oxygen through a process called anaerobic respiration, which involves breaking down glucose to produce ATP. While less efficient than aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration can sustain cellular energy production in low-oxygen conditions by using alternative electron acceptors, like nitrate or sulfate.
Does anaerobic respiration only occur in bacteria?
No, anaerobic respiration occurs in the cells of your body. glucose = lactic acid + oxygen (sugar)
Can cells that carry on aerobic respiration operate anaerobically if needed?
Cells can usually make up for a lack of oxygen to produce energy with anaerobic respiration. For example, when doing heavy physical exercise like lifting weights (i.e. anaerobic exercise), the amount of energy required of the muscle cells exceeds the amount the cells are able to make through aerobic respiration given the amount of oxygen they get. So they compensate by using anaerobic respiration (glycolysis and fermentation of pyruvic acid) to produce that extra ATP. However, the byproduct of this anaerobic respiration, lactic acid, accumulates in the cells and body and is toxic. It has to be processed and broken down by the liver (when it accumulates in the muscles, for example, it causes muscle aches after exercise). So most animal cells cannot survive indefinitely solely on anaerobic respiration, but can supplement their energy generation with it if necessary.
Cells that undergo anaerobic respiration produce what?
Lactic acid

With out oxygen there is only aerobic respiration?
No. Aerobic respiration is WITH oxygen. ANaerobic is without. Generally anaerobic process is fermentation, but that doesn't produce nearly as much ATP, and is therefore unfavorable for anything big, like people or animals.
Why is anaerobic respiration required?
When oxygen runs out, the muscles and other cells need to obtain energy from oxygen and nutrients. Anaerobic respiration (respiration without oxygen) fills this need.
