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

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

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.
