Why does anaerobic respiration occur during strenuous exercise?
Why does anaerobic respiration occur during strenuous exercise?
- Because it is a more efficient process than aerobic respiration
- Because more energy is needed than can be supplied by aerobic respiration (correct)
- Because it releases more energy than aerobic respiration
- Because it is a slower process than aerobic respiration

Study Notes
Types of Respiration
- All living cells respire to release energy for various activities.
- Aerobic respiration: glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water, releasing energy.
- Carbon dioxide can be detected using limewater (turns cloudy) or an indicator (such as hydrogen carbonate) due to its acidity.
- Anaerobic respiration: glucose → lactic acid, used when energy is needed quickly (e.g., during strenuous exercise).
- Anaerobic respiration causes muscles to tire quickly and releases less energy than aerobic respiration.
Anaerobic Respiration
- Lactic acid travels from muscles to the liver, where it's converted back to glucose.
- Anaerobic respiration is not suitable for extended periods.
- After strenuous exercise, the body needs extra oxygen to replace lost oxygen stores and provide energy for aerobic respiration.
Gas Exchange
- Different organisms use various organs for gas exchange: gills (fish), skin (frogs), stomata in leaves (plants), and lungs.
Ventilation and Breathing
- During exercise, breathing rate and pulse rate increase to provide more oxygen and glucose for respiration.
- Breathing is the movement of muscles in the diaphragm and attached to the ribs, changing the chest volume.
- Breathing in (inhalation): diaphragm contracts, rib muscles contract, and lungs expand.
- Breathing out (exhalation): diaphragm relaxes, rib muscles relax, and lungs get smaller.
- Ventilation is the movement of air into and out of the lungs.
Smoking
- The chemicals in cigarette smoke are harmful.
