Why glucose consumed at a high rate in the absence of oxygen and at low rate in its presence?

When glucose is used for energy, oxygen is also used, so I'm not sure I understand this question. When we exercise for awhile, we use up the easily available glucose (the glycogen stores) and have to switch to making it from protein (like organs and muscles) and fat stores (producing ketones). Exercise causes us to breathe harder to supply the extra oxygen needed to use the glucose........
See? I'm missing something. Will try again if you can explain it for me.

The breakdown of glucose into ATP in the absence of oxygen is?
fermentation
What substance are produced and consumed in photosynthesis?
Oxygen+glucose are produced, CO2+water+ the energy from the sun light are consumed
When glucose is metabolized in the absence of oxygen one of the end products is?
lactic acid
What is the difference between anoxic and anaerobic condition?
Anaerobic = total absence of free oxygen (O2) or bound oxygen (NO2, NO3) Anoxic = absence of free oxygen, but presence of bound oxygen.
Differences between anaerobic respiration and aerobic respiration?
Aerobic Respiration is a respiration of a bacteria with oxygen. Glucose + Oxygen --> Energy + Water + Carbon Dioxide Anaerobic Respiration is a respiration of a bacteria without the presence of oxygen.

What do you get as products after breaking down of glucose in the absence of oxygen?
Energy and lactic acid (lactate).
What is produced during photosynthesis and consumed during cellular respiration?
Glucose (a sugary substance), is made in photosynthesis which is then consumed later :)
Which nutrient can be used to produce energy in the absence of oxygen?
Glucose is anaerobic turns into atp and it can be used for energy without oxygen
Where does emp pathway occur?
cytoplasmic matrix of procaryotes and eucaryotes with presence or absence of oxygen
Does anaerobic exercise utilize oxygen for energy production?
it can produce energy in the presence and absence of oxygen unlike aerobic exercise which can only produce energy in the presence of oxygen
Can a cell undergo respiration when glucose is not available?
Yes, it can in a process called anaerobic respiration.
Cellular respiration releases energy by breaking down glucose in the presence of what?
Oxygen!
