- lack of carbon dioxide and formation of pyruvate.
- presence of oxygen and formation of ethanol.
- lack of oxygen and formation of lactic acid.
- lack of oxygen and formation of carbon dioxide.
Answer
lack of oxygen and formation of lactic acid.
Reason — Muscular cramps during heavy exercise are often associated with the accumulation of lactic acid in muscles. This occurs when there is insufficient oxygen available to meet the energy demands of the muscles, leading to anaerobic metabolism and the production of lactic acid.
