For example, a friend of yours goes to the gym and takes a 30-minute, cardio interval training class. While switching between doing high-intensity push-ups, jumping jacks, and weight training, she notices that there is a burning sensation in her muscles. The burning is due to the buildup oflactate in the muscle tissue, a result of her muscles supplying ATPanaerobically . What is true about this pathway for forming ATP

Answer:

No oxygen is required.

Step-by-step explanation:

This pathway for forming ATP needs no oxygen and the ATP that is produced are in very low concentration. The low amount of ATP production occurs when the cell goes for anaerobic respiration in which the cell produces less ATP. This type of ATP production occurs only when the body requires ATP quickly so that's why the body uses this type of respiration during exercise and running activities etc.
