Question

Describe under what conditions you might expect your cells to undergo anaerobic respiration. Be specific as to why these conditions would prevent normal cellular respiration to proceed. What product is produced under anaerobic conditions and is it harmful?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Cells start undergoing anaerobic respiration when energy requirement is high and there is not sufficient availability of oxygen to produce required energy .

For example , when we we run fast , energy requirement by muscle cell is high but available oxygen level is not sufficient so cells start anaerobic respiration which produces lactic acid and this product creates tire-ness.

For normal respiration , oxygen is required . If there is lack of oxygen , aerobic respiration is not possible .

In yeast cells , alcohol is produced by anaerobic respiration. Alcohol is not harmful . In muscle cells , lactic acid is produced which is harmful .
