During anaerobic cell metabolism, athletes sometimes complain of short-term muscle fatigue. What can be causing this fatigue? Check all that apply. Check All That Apply: 1. Lactic acid accumulation increases acidity of the muscle. 2. Muscle cells are depleted of potassium. 3. Carbohydrate accumulation in the bloodstream increases the acidity of the muscle. 4. Anaerobic breakdown of glucose is a very slow and cumbersome way to resupply ATP.

Step 1
During intense exercise, muscle cells may rely on anaerobic metabolism to produce ATP quickly when oxygen is limited. This process involves the breakdown of glucose to produce ATP without the need for oxygen. Show more…
