Why a sprinter can use mainly anaerobic respiration during the race while a marathon runner needs to use aerobic respiration?
so they can breath :)
A runner needs more energy for a longer race. How does the body generate the necessary ATP?
Goes from aerobic respiration of carbohydrate to anaerobic respiration of carbohydrate. In the case of marathon runners aerobic respiration of fatty acids will follow depletion of carbohydrate reserves (glycogen).
Why does a marathon runner eat a large starchy meal before a bi g race?
The large starchy meal allows the runner to store large amounts of glucose in the body in the form of glycogen. All these glycogen would be converted to glucose when he needs them in large amount during the race. The glucose converted can help him when his muscles undergo aerobic or anaerobic respiration.
What is a bacterium that needs oxygen?
A bacterium that needs oxygen is called an aerobic bacterium
Why is speed important for a marathon runner?
Speed determines how long time the Runner needs to finish the race. For those actually competing, the one with the highest speed gets the shortest time and wins the race. For the recreational Runner, speed still determine the time. And since the race course is usually only open a limited time, even a recreational rider needs to keep the pace up.
What is the difference between an aerobic and an anaerobic culture?
Aerobic needs oxygen to grow.
What materials and energy are needed for Aerobic Respiration?
Aerobic means it needs oxygen and also requires ATP, it also needs water.Anaerobic doesn't require oxygen.
What are the two classification of cellular respiration?
Aerobic and Anaerobic. Aerobic needs oxygen, and anaerobic does not use oxygen.
In what way should a marathon runners diet differ from a weight lifters diet?
more carbohydrate on a runner - needs a lot of energy consumption. More protein diet on a weight lifter - need to build muscle to lift bigger weight.
What respiration needs oxygen from air?
aerobic respiration
When calculating the daily protein needs for marathon runners or competitive?
1.4-1.7
Why aerobic excersise is better to reduce weight?
Aerobic exercise involves large muscle groups, increase the body's needs for oxygen. Running, jogging or going out are all good forms of aerobic exercise.
