Without oxygen the kreb's cycle would be replaced by fermentation after glycolysis. Fermentation does not create nearly as much energy as kreb's

Where do muscles get the energy they need to do work?
The energy is produced through an aerobic process called oxidative phosphorylation. About 60% of energy comes from fatty acids and triglycerides and 35% from carbohydrates. The remaining 5% is from amino acids and ketone bodies. The oxidation is supported by myoglobins that store oxygen in the muscle.
What term refers to the production of energy by a cell without using oxygen?
The process of converting glucose (C6H1206) to energy in the form of ATP is known as anaerobic respiration in humans. The pathway involves glucose as a reactant yielding 2 lactic acids and 2 ATPs.
In the metabolism of amino acids for energy what is the fate of the amino group?
Excreted as urea. this was the answer for my test
How much energy is stored in a battery?
Depends on how big it is (button cell, car battery?) and on its chemical type.
What does protein get broken down into to use for energy?
Proteins are broken down into amino acids in digestive tract and then synthesis of new proteins.
What does not serve as a source of acids in the body?
Aerobic breakdown of glucose.
Which of the following does not serve as a source of acids in the body?
aerobic breakdown of glucose
A runner needs more energy for a longer race. How does the body generate the necessary ATP?
Goes from aerobic respiration of carbohydrate to anaerobic respiration of carbohydrate. In the case of marathon runners aerobic respiration of fatty acids will follow depletion of carbohydrate reserves (glycogen).
Before fats can be metabolized in aerobic cellular respiration they must be converted to?
Fatty acids and glycerol.
When Fatty acids provide energy is it anabolic or catabolic?
fatty acids provide energy catabolic or anabolic

What is an example of catabolism?
e.g -respirationAnother Perspective:Three examples would be the human body's metabolism (oxidative degradation) of: fatty acids, amino acids, and monosaccarides.
Process that requires oxygen?
Aerobic Reaction. Respiration is an example of aerobic reaction, and is common to living organisms such as humans and plants. Anaerobic respiration can be found in certain types of bacteria.
What are products of cellular reparation?
In aerobic respiration they are ATP and CO2 mainly. In anaerobic, Lactic acids,ethanol also produced
What is the preferred source of energy for the heart muscle?
The preferred source of energy for the heart muscle is fatty acids. Fatty acids are "good fats" that are main sources of energy for cells.
When dissolved in water are acids release or are bases release?
acids are released
What does the stomach use to complete its job?
Acids. Internal acids are used to digest the food into energy
