Respiration
-
-
anaerobic respiration
-
why don't we want to use it? it is an incomplete breakdown of glucose molecules and therefore the lactic acid has to be removed
-
-
Solar respiration
An exothermic reaction which transfers energy from glucose and is continuously occurring energy in living cells
-
anaerobic respiration is far less efficient that aerobic respiration, however when there is no oxygen it is the best oxygen. the main problem is the build up of lactic acid. The more lactic acid you have the more oxygen is needed to react with the acid. this is called oxygen debt. for this reaction to take place our blood carried lactic acid from our muscles to our liver where it is reacted with oxygen and is converted back to glucose.
