Which metabolic outcome occurs when prolonged anaerobic pursuit depletes crocodiles’ readily available ATP?

💡 Explanation

Increased lactic acid production results because energy demand outstrips oxygen supply; anaerobic glycolysis generates ATP; therefore muscles accumulate lactate, causing fatigue, rather than oxidative phosphorylation, which is more efficient, but slower.
