← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome regarding energy expenditure occurs in cheetahs during high-speed attempts at pursuit predation?
A)Reduced anaerobic metabolism buildup occurs rapidly.
B)ATP reserves are depleted continuously.
C)Lactate threshold levels are exceeded early.✓
D)Glycogen storage depletion halts effort.
💡 Explanation
Increased pursuit speed relies on anaerobic glycolysis which leads to a rapid rise in lactate production surpassing the animal's lactate threshold; therefore, reducing endurance, rather than optimizing continuous ATP production, because sustained aerobic metabolism cannot meet energy demands.
