write the chemical equation for anaerobic respiration in muscles? |
| Answer» Anaerobic respiration are produces energy and uses glucose, but it produces less energy then aerobic respration and does not require oxygen. Anaerobic respiration\xa0takes place in the cell cytoplasm and produces lactic acid. The chemical equation is C6H12O6 → 2C3H6O3 (Glucose → Lactic acid). The lactic acid then needs to be oxidised later to carbon dioxide and water afterwards\xa0to prevent it building up. This process requires oxygen and therefore following anaerobic respiration there is oxygen debt in the cell, as oxygen is needed to break down the lactic acid produced.\xa0 | |
