During which of the following types of event do cells continue to do their job, but without adequate oxygen supply?

Anaerobic metabolism
Aerobic metabolism
When the body is resting
When the body is exercising

Explanation

Answer: A - During anaerobic metabolism, cells continue to do their job but without adequate oxygen supply. The result is a marked decrease in ATP production and increase of harmful acids. If oxygen is supplied to the tissues in time, the condition is reversible. If not, it is irreversible, and cell death is imminent.
