Lack of oxygen in muscles often leads to cramps among cricketers. This results due to
A. conversion of pyruvate to ethanol
B. conversion of pyruvate to glucose
C. non conversion of glucose to pyruvate
D. conversion of pyruvate to lactic acid
Answer:D
Lack of oxygen in muscles often leads to cramps among cricketers. This results due to
A. conversion of pyruvate to ethanol B. conversion of pyruvate to glucose C. non conversion of glucose to pyruvate D. conversion of pyruvate to lactic acid
Explanation: Breakdown of Pyruvate in presence of oxygen takes place in mitochondria leading to the formation of Lactic acid. Due to workout oxygen is used for the production of energy leading to the lack of oxygen and production of lactic acid.
