When an athlete is nearing the end of a race and her cells are low on oxygen, which of the following is likely to occur in her cells so that glycolysis can continue to produce ATP?

A. Protein synthesis
B. DNA synthesis
C. Fermentation
D. Cell-to-cell communication

Answer (3)

the one that is likely to occur in her cells so that glycolysis can continue to produce ATP is : fermentation
When there is not enough oxygen, our body will execute a fermentation process which will regenerate NADH and Glycolysis in our body. This will produce Glucose molecule that could be converted into net ATPI hope that my answer is helpful! Let me know if you need something more :)

When an athlete's cells are low on oxygen, fermentation occurs, allowing glycolysis to continue producing ATP. This involves converting pyruvate into lactic acid, regenerating NAD+ from NADH. Therefore, the correct answer is option C: Fermentation.
