If you run as fast as you can, your muscles may begin to feel weak and have a burning sensation. Explain what is occurring in your muscle cells that account for this muscle fatigue.

a
inadequate supply of oxygen to muscle cells leads to lactic acid fermentation
b
excessive supply of oxygen to muscle cells leads to mitochondrial autolysis
c
inadequate supply of glucose to muscle cells leads to alcohol fermentation
d
excessive supply of ATP to muscle cells leads to hypertonic conditions

The correct answer is a) inadequate supply of oxygen to muscle cells leads to lactic acid fermentation.
