  2. Comparison of anaerobic and aerobic digestion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_anaerobic...

    The following article is a comparison of aerobic and anaerobic digestion. In both aerobic and anaerobic systems the growing and reproducing microorganisms within them require a source of elemental oxygen to survive. [1] In an anaerobic system there is an absence of gaseous oxygen. In an anaerobic digester, gaseous oxygen is prevented from ...

  3. Ventilatory threshold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventilatory_threshold

    VT1 is thought to reflect a person's anaerobic threshold — the point at which the oxygen supplied to the muscles no longer meets its oxygen requirements at a given work rate — and therefore lactate threshold — the point at which lactate begins to accumulate in the blood, because with ongoing dependence on anaerobic glycolysis, increasing ...

  4. Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excess_post-exercise...

    Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC, informally called afterburn) is a measurably increased rate of oxygen intake following strenuous activity.In historical contexts the term "oxygen debt" was popularized to explain or perhaps attempt to quantify anaerobic energy expenditure, particularly as regards lactic acid/lactate metabolism; [1] in fact, the term "oxygen debt" is still widely ...

  5. Decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decomposition

    Aerobic decomposition takes place in the presence of oxygen. This is most common to occur in nature. Living organisms that use oxygen to survive feed on the body. Anaerobic decomposition takes place in the absence of oxygen. This could be a place where the body is buried in organic material and oxygen cannot reach it.

  6. Bioenergetic systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioenergetic_systems

    The term metabolism refers to the various series of chemical reactions that take place within the body. Aerobic refers to the presence of oxygen, whereas anaerobic means with a series of chemical reactions that does not require the presence of oxygen. The ATP-CP series and the lactic acid series are anaerobic, whereas the oxygen series is aerobic.

  7. Aerotolerant anaerobe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerotolerant_anaerobe

    They gather mostly at the top because aerobic respiration generates more ATP than either fermentation or anaerobic respiration. 4: Microaerophiles need oxygen because they cannot ferment or respire anaerobically. However, they are poisoned by high concentrations of oxygen. They gather in the upper part of the test tube but not the very top.

  8. Acidogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acidogenesis

    Acidogenesis is the second stage in the four stages of anaerobic digestion: Hydrolysis: A chemical reaction where particulates are solubilized and large polymers converted into simpler monomers; Acidogenesis: A biological reaction where simple monomers are converted into volatile fatty acids;

    They gather mostly at the top because aerobic respiration generates more ATP than either fermentation or anaerobic respiration. 4: Microaerophiles need oxygen because they cannot ferment or respire anaerobically.
