Question

Some organisms do not undergo aerobic cellular respiration but undergo anaerobic cellular respiration. What are the disadvantages of anaerobic respiration if any?

Answer 1

We can take mascule as a good example of Anarobic respiration. its has advantages and disadvantages,here i am giving some disadvantages due to the anaerobic respiration.

1) Less energy is produced in the anaerobic respration and produces the lactic acid,most of the lactic acid is absorbed by the liver, but some of the lactic acid remains in the muscle it causes muscle fatuige. Liver and muscle converts the lactic acid to pyruvic acid in order to do that ,a lot of oxygen the body is now taking in does the conversion insted of being used elsewhere this is know as 'Repaying the debt'

2) Too much of anaerobic respiration causes the muscle pain cramping

3) It does not produce a endurance energy.

4) Metabolisam rates increases for calorie burning but not for fat burning
