Answer:

d. In the absence of oxygen, cells release ATP by breaking down

glucose into lactate is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

lactic acid fermentation occur in the absence of oxygen, cells release ATP by breaking down glucose into lactic acid.

lactic acid fermentation is a process in which sugars example ( sucrose, fructose, and glucose) are converted into energy and lactate

when there is not sufficient oxygen available during physical activity and in that case, muscle produces lactic acid to provide energy during a physical workout by a process called lactic acid fermentation that generates ATP in the absence of oxygen and it provides energy to cells.
