Question

An oxygen debt is created when ____________.

a. money is not available to purchase oxygen for patients


b. there is more ATP than ADP inside the muscle cells


c. lactic acid is being removed from the muscles


d. the rate of ATP being used exceeds the rate of ATP being created

Answer 1

Oxygen debt occurs when lactic acid secretes excessively after strenuous activity and body is in the want of oxygen. Thus the right answer is option C

Step-by-step explanation:

After a vigorous or strenuous exercise oxygen is needed to create lactic acid and to reconvert it to glucose. Thus the oxygen debt occurs after such activity.

It involves the need of extra oxygen by the muscle to recover the stability after exercise. With the intake of oxygen by oxygen plus after the activities can be helpful for recovering.

Answer 2

Letter C

Step-by-step explanation:

Anaerobic respiration occurs when there is no oxygen available and so produces an oxygen debt. This debt is equivalent to the total amount of oxygen required to oxidise the lactic acid formed from this process into carbon dioxide and water.

Lactic acid is taken to the liver by the blood, and either: oxidised to carbon dioxide and water, or
