Anaerobic cellular respiration produces only 2 ATP molecules compared to Aerobic cellular respiration which produces 38 ATP molecules per cell.

If we don't breathe in more during exercises, our body produces lactic acid which causes the terrible pain in our muscles and joints.

Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway

Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway that allows cells to take apart food molecules and use their atoms as an energy source. This pathway takes electrons from food molecules and transfers them to oxygen, has energy transferred to ATP and arranges molecules into water, carbon dioxide and waste.

Cellular respiration makes you sweat

The reason you sweat when you do exercise is because the rate of cellular respiration is increased in order to transfer the extra energy you need to ATP. However, only 40 percent of energy from food can be transferred, leaving the extra 60 percent to transform into heat, making you sweat.

Cellular respiration burns sugar

Cellular respiration breaks down sugar through a process similar to burning. This process, however, is slowed down considerably in order to avoid the pain of an excessive and damaging reaction.

Hope you get this fast! Good luck!
