Anaerobic respiration can lead to a burning sensation caused by which molecule?



Correct Answer: A

During anaerobic respiration, some living systems use an organic molecule as the final electron acceptor. Processes that use an organic molecule to regenerate NAD+ from NADH are collectively referred to as fermentation. One type of fermentation is lactic acid fermentation, which produces lactic acid (lactate) and NAD+1. The accumulation of lactic acid can lead to a burning sensation in muscles during intense exercise.
