Question

3.1.9 - 12.g during a period of intense activity, such as when an animal runs away from a predator, oxygen levels in the body decline. as oxygen becomes limited, cells in the body switch from performing aerobic respiration to performing anaerobic respiration. what is a consequence of this switch?
the animal can begin consuming carbon dioxide rather than producing it.
the animal receives less energy from each glucose molecule it breaks down.
the animal can begin producing oxygen rather than consuming it.
the animal receives more energy from each glucose molecule it breaks down.

Explanation:

Aerobic respiration produces a large amount of ATP (energy) per glucose molecule. Anaerobic respiration produces much less ATP per glucose molecule. Animals do not consume carbon dioxide or produce oxygen during respiration.

Answer:

The animal receives less energy from each glucose molecule it breaks down.
