← Nature & AnimalsWhich effect occurs during pursuit hunting when an apex predator exerts repeated bursts of acceleration?
A)Elevated lactate threshold accumulation✓
B)Decreased basal metabolic regulation
C)Increased neural inhibition cascade
D)Diminished cellular osmotic diffusion
💡 Explanation
Elevated lactate results from bursts of anaerobic respiration; because the predator exceeds its aerobic capacity during high-speed pursuit, lactate fermentation accelerates rather than efficient oxidative phosphorylation for ATP production. Therefore lactate impacts muscle functionality.
