Home > Anaerobic

Anaerobic is a technical word which literally means without air. The presence or absence of air, or more precise the oxygen in the air, affects various chemical and biological reactions.

One example is that wood which is totally immersed in water does not rot - the process of rotting being a process requiring water and oxygen - see Seahenge.

Anaerobic organismAn anaerobic organism or anaerobe is any organism that does not require oxygen. Obligate anaerobes will die when exposed to oxygen, while facultative anaerobes can use oxygen when present.

Below the AT any lactate produced by the muscles is removed by the body without it building up.
