Anaerobic Respiration Flashcards
1
Q
Why do we get anaerobic respiration
A
If insufficient oxygen is reaching the muscles so needs to use this to get energy
2
Q
What is anaerobic respiration
A
Incomplete breakdown of glucose and produces lactic acid
3
Q
What happens when muscles are subjected to long periods of physical activity
A
They stop contracting efficiently aka become fatigued
4
Q
What is a cause of muscle fatigue
How to you get rid of this
A
The build up to lactic acid in the muscles
Blood flowing through the muscles breaks this down i.e. Aerobic respiration
