Rite i need to identify effects of aerobic and anaerobic exercise in the following:

> Respiratory
> Muscular
> Skeletal


Help really needed and would be soo greatful dont really know much about this stuff :(

muscular is aerobic 100% sure
respiratory, depends if this is gcse of a level

Muscular can be anaerobic, developing muscular explosive strength in say your bicep would be an anaerobic activity as your using no air. (examples, weight lifting, circuits sit-ups push-ups etc, muscular resistance activities)

Respiratory can be anaerobic and aerobic, when oxygen is used then we use aerobic respiration, using air to break down our stored glucoes for energy (an example of this activity is continuos running/ training, swimming, walking) when oxygen isn't used lactic acid forms and less energy is produced because there is no oxygen and we call this anaerobic respiration. (an example of this would be sprinting, as you do not use oxygen for energy).

NO!

Muscular can be anaerobic respiration as well as aerobic respiration.
In anaerobic respiration, glucose turns into lactic acid and energy:

C6H12O6 --> 2C3H6O3 + energy

In aerobic respiration, glucose turns into carbon dioxide, water and energy:

C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy

More energy is given out in aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration occurs when there isn't enough oxygen in your body to perform aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration only gives about a twelfth of the energy that aerobic respiration gives and lactic acid that is produced is poisonous, which explains the pain you may have experienced when exercising. Muscular contraction is inhibited when lactic acid builds up in cells and leads to fatigue or, in some cases, even death.
