Which effect occurs during pursuit hunting when an apex predator exerts repeated bursts of acceleration?

💡 Explanation

Elevated lactate results from bursts of anaerobic respiration; because the predator exceeds its aerobic capacity during high-speed pursuit, lactate fermentation accelerates rather than efficient oxidative phosphorylation for ATP production. Therefore lactate impacts muscle functionality.
