Can Aerobic and Anaerobic respiration take place at the same time?
Hi I'm currently revising for biology and was wondering if aerobic and anaerobic respiration takes place together? Reason why I ask this qn is because the textbook says when we're running(vigorously) maximum aerobic respn is unable to produce enough energy to meet the demand. So muscles carry out anaerobic respn. DOES IT MEAN THAT WHILE OUR BODY DOES AEROBIC RESPn WE ALSO DO ANEAROBIC RESPn?

It can take place at the same time in different parts of the body. Like when we exercise, our muscles contract at a faster rate and the oxygen supply cannot keep up with this rate. Which is why they switch over to anaerobic respiration temporarily, while most other cells in our body are still respiring aerobically.

Both aerobic and anaerobic respiration can take place in the human cell at the same time.

Conceptually no. Theoretically no. very nearly it is in all hazard somewhat bit the two. evaluate an athlete who's at his lactate threshold, the edge which defines a swap from cardio to anaerobic respiratory. that's a rapid shift from oxygen to no oxygen, even though it is not any longer all or no longer something. i might think of (at relax, in well-known human beings) in some cells one million% or 0.0001% of cellular equipment is anaerobic. that's purely the way biology works, its on no account one determination as against yet another, there is often a swap mechanism and different pathways working simulatenously.
