Why does anaerobic respiration occur during vigorous exercise?
There may be insufficient oxygen supplied to the muscle cells.
Carbon dioxide builds up in the respiring muscle cells.
Anaerobic respiration releases more energy from glucose than aerobic respiration.
During anaerobic respiration enzymes make more ATP than during aerobic exercise.
There may be insufficient oxygen supplied to the muscle cells.
Vigorous exercise may require more oxygen than can be supplied by the circulation. In this case ATP must be produced anaerobically which is less efficient than when sufficient oxygen is present. Hence choices C and D are wrong.
