How would athletes be affected if fermentation could not take place?

The lactate cycle would not be able to occur and so respiration would stop, resulting in considerably less energy. The athlete would become tired and and a build up of lactic acid would slow muscular action.

∙ 12y agoWhen an Athletes muscles run out of oxygen, lactic acid fermentation supplies cells with energy. I Got this from A text book called "California life Science"Prentice Hall I was asked this question while doing HW..

∙ 8y agoLactic acid is produced during normal activity. Staying hydrated and keeping a balance between electrolytes keeps lactic acid from building up in muscles. However, strenuous activities can dehydrate the body, causing shifts in electrolytes. This can result in lactic acidosis which builds up in the muscles.
At first, the person feels weak. If they rehydrate, they can stop the negative effects. However, if they do not rehydrate, lactic acidosis can progress. Respirations increase to try to lower the body's acidic level. However, respirations by itself cannot correct the condition without replacing fluids and electrolytes. Without this replacement, the muscles begin to spasm. The stomach can clench and cause pain and nausea. Leg muscles ache; weakness progresses. If the person cannot drink enough, they will need fluid replacement by IV.
Athletes must stay hydrated, not only with plain water but with fluids containing electrolytes, like Gatorade, or they risk going into lactic acidosis.

How are weight and mass affected by gravity?
Mass is not affected by gravity. Weight is the result of the force of gravity acting on mass.
How badly would your lives be affected if there was no gravity?
Quite bad - you would have no life in the first place. It is gravity that created structures in the Universe that are essential for life - including the Sun, and the Earth.
Motionless place or object used for comparison is called?
A motionless place or object used for comparison is called a datum. It could also be called a reference point.
Why is the direction of the wave of contraction so important in the heart?
The direction of the wave of contraction in the heart is important because it decides where the blood reflux will take place. The blood reflux could take place in the atria, or the blood from the heart could be ejected into the pulmonary artery or aorta.
How do you make a nuclear bomb out of rubber bands?

How would athletes be affected if cellular respiration did not take place?
if cellular respiration does not take place, even a normal human would die... athletes are human too... no?
Who could take place in these games?
Athletes
Where or when in your body might a process like fermentation take place?
Fermentation, or anaerobic metabolism, could take place in the intestines in a healthy individual or it could take place in a deep, puncture wound.
Does vacuum packing stop the fermentation process?
No, fermentation takes place in any place or situation but in vacuum condition fermentation takes place in very slow pace
What does fermentation take place in?
what is the organelles that make alcoholic fermentation ?
What type of fermentation takes place in your body muscles?
lactic acid fermentation
Where does the fermentation process of cellular respiration take place in the cell?
Cellular respiration and fermentation are two different processes.
What type of fermentation takes place in your muscles when you exercise vigorously?

fermentation occurs in the mitochondria actually.
What is a place for athletes who dribble?
Athletes generally dribble on a field or court.
Could you give a venn diagram of cellular respiration and fermentation?
Fermentation: Takes place without oxygen, takes place in cytoplasm. Cellular respiration: Requires oxygen, takes place in cytoplasm and mitochondria. Both: Are ways that organisms produce energy by breaking down glucose.
