Multiple Choice
Anaerobic exercise that causes muscle fatigue produces which of the following along with ATP?
A
Oxygen
B
Lactic acid
C
Carbon dioxide
D
Ethanol
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that anaerobic exercise refers to physical activity that does not rely on oxygen for energy production, typically involving short bursts of high-intensity effort.
Recognize that during anaerobic exercise, the body relies on glycolysis, a process that breaks down glucose to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate) without the use of oxygen.
Identify that one of the byproducts of glycolysis under anaerobic conditions is lactic acid, which accumulates in the muscles and contributes to muscle fatigue.
Note that oxygen is not produced during anaerobic exercise; instead, it is typically consumed during aerobic processes.
Understand that carbon dioxide is a byproduct of aerobic respiration, not anaerobic glycolysis, and ethanol is not produced in human muscle cells during exercise.
