Anaerobic exercise is exercise such as weight training that improves your strength but does not raise your heart rate. not needing oxygen in order to live aerobic
occurring in the absence of oxygen Anaerobic composting proceeds slowly and is odiferous
(i) Absence of molecular oxygen (ii) Growing in the absence of molecular oxygen, such as anaerobic bacteria (iii) Occurring in the absence of molecular oxygen, as a biochemical process
adj : 1: Lacking or seriously depleted of oxygen Opposite of aerobic 2: Of or relating to organisms, such as certain bacteria, that can live in the absence of atmospheric oxygen (indeed, for most anaerobic bacteria, oxygen is toxic)
The term used to describe a biological process which occurs without the need for oxygen Often used to describe types of bacteria and bacteriological processes such as denitrification Anaerobic bacterial activity can be seen in the bottom muds of ponds, lakes etc , where organic matter is broken down without the availability of oxygen The thin crust of the surface muds, prevents the oxygen from penetrating through to lower layers Such anaerobic breakdown in muds can result in the production of hydrogen sulphide, which can be toxic to fish
The term used to describe an environment or a condition which is free of oxygen or to describe an organism which can grow in the absence of oxygen
Anaerobic creatures or processes do not need oxygen in order to function or survive
