What Causes aneroabic respiration in your body?
Anaerobic respiration occurs during high-intensity exercises when your body works so hard there is a shortage of oxygen for energy consumption. Due to the shortage of oxygen, your body breaks down glucose and phosphates stored in your muscles for ene

What causes Air resistance?
Air resistance is caused by friction between a moving object and the air molecules surrounding it. The energy required to push these molecules out of the way diminishes the object's kinetic energy and correspondingly reduces its velocity.

Chlorophyll
a green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, which is responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis.
3 of 10
Chloroplast
a plastid in green plant cells which contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.
4 of 10
Mitochondrian
an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. It has a double membrane, the inner part being folded inwards to form layers (cristae).

Citric acid
a sharp-tasting crystalline acid present in the juice of lemons and other sour fruits. It is made commercially by the fermentation of sugar and used as a flavouring and setting agent.

Cells
the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism, which is typically microscopic and consists of cytoplasm and a nucleus enclosed in a membrane.

Organism
an individual animal, plant, or single-celled life form.
8 of 10
Friction
the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another.
9 of 10
Photosynthesis
the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a by-product.
