Question 11 • Biology

If a runner is doing vigorous exercise, which results from the anaerobic cellular process?

Answer
A
depletion of carbon dioxide
B
accumulation of lactic acid
C
depletion of ethanol
D
accumulation of oxygen

Explanation

During vigorous exercise, muscles may not receive enough oxygen for aerobic respiration, so they use anaerobic respiration. In human muscle cells, this process produces lactic acid, which can build up temporarily. Therefore, the result is accumulation of lactic acid.
