Question

5. (a) Why does anaerobic respiration take place in muscle cells?
(b) Why do we get muscular cramps after heavy exercise?​

Answer 1

(a)

you need to transfer energy from glucose to your muscles very quickly. However your body cannot get oxygen to its muscles quickly enough for aerobic respiration to occur. This is why anaerobic respiration happens instead. A model of glucose turning into lactic acid.

(b)Muscle cramps occur when there is anaerobic respiration taking place in our muscles. During anaerobic respiration, glucose gets converted into lactic acid which leads to lack of oxygen. A hot water bath or a massage can help in getting relief from the muscle cramps.

Answer 2

Explanation:

anaerobic respiration occur in mitochondria of cell due to accumulation of lactic acid we get macular cramps
