Cellular Resperation

As I have learned, we as humans can not rely and live off of doing just anaerobic cellular resperation because of a lack of oxygen. This lack of oxygen would leave us drained and unenergetic. Anaerobic cellular respiration is relied on when our bodies exceed the amount of oxygen our bodies can make. As far as warm and cold blooded animals, the cold blooded animals are far less active because of the fact that their bodies produce far less ATP than warm blooded animals do like mammals.

  1. I think it is funny how you could use anaerobic respiration for short periods of time, like when you are working out, but other than that we don't really use this kind of respiration at all!
