10) Which of the following describes a metabolic consequence of a shortage of oxygen in muscle cells?
о
(A) An increase in blood pH due to the accumulation of lactic acid
O
(B) NO ATP production due to the absence of substrate-level phosphorylation
о
(C) A buildup of lactic acid in the muscle tissue due to fermentation
O (D) A decrease in the oxidation of fatty acids due to a shortage of ATP

The statement 'a buildup of lactic acid in the muscle tissue due to fermentation' describes a metabolic consequence of a shortage of oxygen in muscle cells (Option C).

In conclusion, the statement 'a buildup of lactic acid in the muscle tissue due to fermentation' describes a metabolic consequence of a shortage of oxygen in muscle cells (Option C).

The correct answer is - C) a buildup of lactic acid in the muscle tissue due to fermentation.

Explanation:

In absence of enough oxygen for the muscle cells to perform the aerobic pathway to breakdown pyruvate for energy, the body starts producing lactic acid to convert glucose into energy.

This process is known as fermentation which can produce lactic acid and build it in muscle cells. There are some negative effects of fermentation and buildup of lactic acid in muscle cells such as cramps, pain, and fatigue in the muscles.
