lactic acid Flashcards
1
Q
oxygen not being present during cellular respiration
A
causing the glucose to convert to lactic acid
2
Q
lactic acid
A
lowers the pH in intracellular fluid and causes muscle fatigue
3
Q
when in muscle fatigue
A
the muscles cannot contract efficiently, contraction may be painful, and lactic acid is released into the blood to the liver where it is converted into pyruvic acid
4
Q
the pyruvic acid can
A
be used when it is needed for energy
5
Q

A
ATP
