PLEASE HELP QUICK 5. If a person is constantly feeling weak and has low energy levels, a doctor may test the blood for lactate.
High
lactate levels may indicate that the person's body is breaking down glucose by fermentation instead of by aerobic
respiration. The diagram below represents the process of fermentation.
Based on the diagram, which of the following statements best explains why an increase in fermentation and a
decrease in aerobic respiration might cause a person to feel weak and have low energy levels?
A Less ATP is being produced.
B. Less pyruvate is being produced.
C The amount of lactate available as a product is limited.
D. The amount of glucose available as a reactant is limited
