During strenuous exercise, anaerobic conditions can result if the cardiovascular system cannot supply oxygen fast enough to meet
the demands of muscle cells. Assume that a muscle cell s demand for ATP under anaerobic conditions remains the same as it was under aerobic conditions. What would happen to the cell s rate of glucose utilization?a. Glucose utilization would increase a lot.b. Glucose utilization would remain the same.c. Glucose utilization would decrease a little.d. Glucose utilization would increase a little.e. Glucose utilization would decrease a lot.
Aerobic condition indicates the presence of large amount of oxygen in the body. Anaerobic condition means that the oxygen is limited or deficient in the body.
The muscle cells shows anaerobic condition during exercise and produces lactic acid. Since, the ATP demand is same in both the aerobic and anaerobic conditions. This increases the demand of glucose in the body. Glucose utilization is increased to provide proper energy to the individual.
