"Anaerobic respiration comes at its own cost". Explain the given statement.

Open in App
Solution

Anaerobic respiration occurs during high-intensity exercises. When our body works so hard there is a shortage of oxygen for energy consumption. Due to the shortage of oxygen, your body breaks down glucose stored in your muscles for energy. As a byproduct of the breakdown lactic acid is formed, which causes muscle fatigue.
