Anaerobic Respiration - Coggle Diagram
Anaerobic Respiration
Oxygen debt
The waste you lactic acid you produce during anaerobic respiration is a problem
You cannot get rid of it by breathing in out in carbon dioxide.
The lactic acid needs to be broken down into carbon dioxide and water this needs oxygen
The amount of oxygen needed is called oxygen debt
The bigger the debt the longer you pant and puff after exercise
The repayment is lactic acid + oxygen -> carbon dioxide and water.
Anaerobic respiration in other organisms
Plants and microorganisms can also respire without oxygen.
Plant cells need to respire anaerobically so that they don't form lactic acid.
From the lactic acid they produce ethanol and carbon dioxide
Microorganisms such as yeast form ethanol and carbon dioxide.
The anaerobic respiration is called fermentation
It is used globally to manufacture bread and alcoholic drinks
What is anaerobic respiration
Not as efficient as aerobic respiration as the glucose is not broken down as much.
The end product is lactic acid instead of CO2 and water.
The chemical process is glucose -> lactic acid. this is energy transferred from the environment.
Muscle fatigue
Using muscle fibers for a long time can make them become fatigued.
A cause of this can be a build up of lactic acid.
A build up of this can cause oxygen debt
