    Hot Work
AI Thread Summary
After a workout, the body feels hot due to the exothermic reactions involved in cellular respiration, where glucose is oxidized to produce energy, water, and carbon dioxide. During aerobic exercise, oxygen is utilized efficiently to break down glucose, while anaerobic exercise leads to lactic acid production due to insufficient oxygen. This increase in metabolic activity generates heat, similar to how a car engine requires cooling. The body's temperature rises as it works to dissipate this heat through mechanisms like sweating. Understanding these processes highlights the physiological responses to exercise and energy production.

URGENT: Why do you feel hot after you work out?

Why do you feel hot after you work out? Explain using concepts of cellular respiration.?

We don't spoon-feed.

Explain your thoughts. We'll help.
 


^ yup that is reasonable...!

When I was doing aerobic exercise I was making my body consume oxygen to create energy and oxygen is required to break down glucose which the basically the fuel to create energy. While I was doing anaerobic respiration my body was using other chemicals to get energy from since the body’s energy demand was high during anaerobic energy and there was not enough oxygen to fulfill it that is the reason why it is called anaerobic meaning “without oxygen”. I could tell when my muscles went into anaerobic when the intensity got high and I felt burning sensation and then I could tell it was the production was lactic acid in order to break down glucose to get energy.

this is all I got but I don't know what they mean in terms or cellular respiration :\
 


Big hint: oxidizing glucose to water and CO2 is an exothermic reaction. I'd look up that term and think about how it relates to the question
 


Small hint: it doesn't differ much from the car engine requiring cooling, same type situation, even if different chemistry and type of engine.
 
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
