Your body needs a constant supply of oxygen for cellular respiration to produce the ATP needed to fuel your body processes. When you exert yourself in a strenuous workout the oxygen demands of your muscle cells quickly outpace the oxygen your body can provide. Skeletal muscle cells that have an insufficient oxygen supply to allow aerobic respiration to continue will undergo lactic acid fermentation. Refer to the model above. Predict what changes will occur when your body shifts from aerobic respiration to anaerobic respiration (lactic acid fermentation). Select ALL that apply.
