The correct answer is: A) lactic acid.

During the exercise, muscle cells use anaerobic respiration in order to make enough energy in the form of ATP. Anaerobic respiration doesn’t require oxygen, but glucose is broken down to produce energy. Glucose is broken down to pyruvate in the process called glycolysis. Next step is convert of pyruvate into lactic acid (or lactate).

During the exercise, the oxygen level in muscle cells decreases, which results in anaerobic respiration of the cells.

Artemon [7]

Answer:

The mechanism is natural selection.

Explanation:

Natural selection is the mechanism that these air-breathing fishes have gone through to survive. This mechanism allows species to survive and reproduce due to differences in the phenotypes of every individual in the specie, throughout the time the heritable traits that every individual inherits changes according to the environment and the characteristics of its ancestors.
