Answered
The word equation for anaerobic respiration in muscles during vigorous exercise is:
Anaerobic Respiration in Muscles
Glucose → Lactic Acid
Explanation:
During intense physical activity, when oxygen supply is insufficient, muscle cells convert glucose into lactic acid through anaerobic respiration. This process allows for the rapid production of energy, although it results in the accumulation of lactic acid, which can lead to muscle fatigue and discomfort.
