What an athlete is nearing the end of a race and her cells are low on oxygen which of the following is likely to occur in herself so that glycolysis can continue to produce ATP

when an athlete is nearing the end of a race and her cells are low on oxygen fermentation is likely to occur so glycolysis can continue to produce ATP.

Of the following given choices;

A. cell-to-cell communication

B. DNA synthesis

C. protein synthesis

D. fermentation

The answer is; D

It is basically called lactic acid fermentation. Glucose first processed in the first stages of the process of glycolysis to produce pyruvate. The proceeding stages depend on whether oxygen is present or not. When oxygen is pr3esent, the pyruvate is channeled to the Krebs cycle. When oxygen is absent, the pyruvate is converted to lactate.
