Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What might happen if the product of anaerobic respiration continue to accumulate in the muscle cells?
A
muscles will be stronger
B
muscles will be destroyed
C
muscles will be strained and even cramp up
D
muscles will just feel warm and eventually go away
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -since anaerobic respiration is a two-step process, it gives energy faster. Thus, muscle cells break down glucose to produce lactic acid and energy. a lot of lactic acid gets accumulated in our muscles and this causes muscle cramps.

Detailed explanation-2: -This happens when the body can’t provide oxygen quick enough for aerobic respiration to take place. Anaerobic respiration produces energy much quicker than aerobic respiration but only produces 1/20th as much. Lactic acid is also produced, and this can build up in muscles causing pain, fatigue and an oxygen debt.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anaerobic respiration in muscle produces Lactic Acid and Energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -The accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles is responsible for muscle cramps.
