Anaerobic Respiration Flashcards
where does fermentation occur
the cytoplasm
what is fermentation
the breaking down of pyruvic acid without oxygen
no ___ is produced in fermentation
ATP
during fermentation ___ regenerates NAD to be used in glycolysis
pyruvic acid
the body uses ___ fermentation
lactic acid
body doesn’t use ___ fermentation
alcoholic
lactic acid fermentation
alternate pathway that converts pyruvic acid–>___
lactic acid
during exercise breathing rates increase to
supply more oxygen
examples of aerobic exercises
walking swimming jogging
anaerobic exercises will result in
oxygen debt
examples of anaerobic exercises
weight lifting sprinting
if there is not enough R oxygen available, lactic acid will begin to
accumulate in the muscles
the burning sensation during exercising is the result of
lowering the muscle pH
blood takes the lactic acid to the ___ and breaks it down to ___
