Which of the following increases in muscle cells when they are lacking in oxygen?(a) carbon dioxide (b) lactose (c) lactic acid (d) uric acid
(c) lactic acid
The concentration of lactic acid increases in muscle cells when they are lacking in oxygen. This happens because here anaerobic respiration takes place in which glucose is converted into lactic acid with the release of a small amount of energy in the form of ATP.
