Question

what happens if a cell runs out of oxygen during cellular respiration? it undergoes photosynthesis it becomes dormant it goes through lactic acid fermentation

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Cellular respiration typically requires oxygen. When oxygen is unavailable, some cells (like animal muscle cells) switch to lactic acid fermentation. Photosynthesis is for energy - production in plants (using light, not related to lack of oxygen in cellular respiration context). Cells don't just become dormant in this situation. Lactic acid fermentation is an anaerobic (without oxygen) process that allows cells to still produce some ATP (energy) when oxygen is lacking.

Answer:

it goes through lactic acid fermentation
