generating ATP

If you exceed your aerobic capacity during a workout, your muscles cells will
Switch to an anaerobic respiration and produce lactic acid
Some friends are trying to make wine in their basement. They've added yeast to a sweet grape juice mixture and have a loud these to grow. After several days they find that sugar levels in the grape juice have dropped, but there's no alcohol in the mixture. The most likely explanation is that
The mixture needs less oxygen; yeast only produce alcohol in the absence of oxygen
