Question

write any five differences between aerobic and anerobic activities?

Answer 1

Aerobic exercise is any type of cardiovascular conditioning or “cardio.” During cardiovascular conditioning, your breathing and heart rate increase for a sustained period of time. Examples of aerobic exercise include swimming laps, running, or cycling.

Anaerobic exercises involve quick bursts of energy and are performed at maximum effort for a short time. Examples include jumping, sprinting, or heavy weight lifting.

Your respiration and heart rate differ in aerobic activities versus anaerobic ones. Oxygen is your main energy source during aerobic workouts.

During aerobic exercise, you breathe faster and deeper than when your heart rate is at rest. You’re maximizing the amount of oxygen in the blood. Your heart rate goes up, increasing blood flow to the muscles and back to the lungs.

During anaerobic exercise, your body requires immediate energy. Your body relies on stored energy sources, rather than oxygen, to fuel itself. That includes breaking down glucose.

Your fitness goals should help determine whether you should participate in aerobic or anaerobic exercise. If you’re new to exercise, you might want to start with aerobic exercises to build up endurance.

If you’ve been exercising a long time or are trying to lose weight quickly, add anaerobic workouts into your routine. Sprints or high intensity interval training (HIIT) may help you meet your goals.

Answer 2

Aerobic means with oxygen, vs anaerobic which means without oxygen. It’s usually used to describe what type of cellular respiration is occurring. During aerobic respiration, mitochondria use oxygen as the final electron acceptor during the process of breaking down organic carbon, C6H12O6, aka glucose or sugar. In the process of breaking that molecule down and transferring the hydrogens, H, to oxygen, the mitochondria use the energy released in that transfer to renew adenosine triphosphate, ATP. Under idealized situations the final yield is about 16 ATP per oxygen. This is important because ATP is like the dollar currency of the cell, everything that happens uses ATP.

Anaerobic respiration doesn’t use oxygen. The first two steps of aerobic respiration, which breaks down the 6 carbon sugar to two 3 carbon molecules, produces 2 ATP by itself. Anaerobic respiration stops there, with a net gain of two ATP instead of the aerobic net gain of 16 ATP. It also produces waste products like ethanol or lactic acid.

And that’s what I can remember off the top of my head. For a more involved explanation check out the Khan Academy YouTube videos.


DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AEROBIC & ANAEROBIC PROCESSES:-

AEROBIC PROCESS-

Aerobic occurs in the presence of oxygen/Needs oxygen. Aerobic comprises three level: transport chain, krebs cycle & glycolysis. It is harmful to organisms.The last unit include water & carbon dioxide with energy { Adenosine TRI-phosphate molecules},It Is ever produce Carbon dioxide & Dihydrogen oxide. Aerobic involved replace of gases.

ANAEROBIC PROCESS-

Anaerobic occurs in the absence of oxygen/doesn’t need oxygen.The last unit include carbon dioxide, ethanol or lactic acid and energy (Adenosine TRI-phosphate molecules). The last products may vary.Anaerobic generally occurs in unicellular organisms like bacteria, fungi, protozoa etc. Anaerobic comprises two states: glycolysis and fermentation,It is harmful to higher organisms



I will not touch on the oxygen aspect as this has been covered.

All high intensity exercise are mainly anaerobic in nature. Endurance exercises are aerobic. Your muscles contain fast twitch and slow twitch fibers and these are called into play depending on intensity.

For the high intensity exercise, your fast twitch fibers take the lead role until such time when they call in the slow twitch fibers to help to maintain the load/stress. That is why you can exercise at a fairly high intensity for a few minutes. All out intensity use only the fast twitch muscles that can be sustained for less than a minute.

Endurance exercises do make use of the fast twitch fibers depending on intensity. They are however, not the main component in the exercise. When intensity is fairly high for the endurance exercise the combination works well until you reach the burning part. That is the fast fibers are almost at their limit. The slow twitch fibers then take over full control until they too cannot sustain the load and you collapse.

To recap fast fibers can use both types of metabolism but is more suited for high intensity. Slow twitch fibers always work in the

Anaerobic capacity increases your chance of survival in sudden dangers. Aerobic capacity increases you chance of survival in captivity. In a physical confrontation, if I’m bigger and stronger than you, I’d prize having more anaerobic capacity. But, if I were much smaller and weaker than you, I’d prize having more aerobic capacity. Because, anaerobic capacity dictates how long I can last pushing high muscle activity in oxygen debt which results in muscle failure. Aeorbic capacity dictates at what level my muscles can continually perform and not go into muscle failure. If I’m bigger and powerful enough, I can knock you silly before I peter out. If I’m a comparative weakling, then I must run you around to peter you out and then having more energy, knock you silly

Aerobic means "with oxygen," and anaerobic means "without oxygen." Anaerobic exercise is the type where you get out of breath in just a few moments, like when you lift weights for improving strength, when you sprint, or when you climb a long flight of stairs
