Comparing Cellular Respiration & Fermentation

... it can't be d, so it can be both a and b lol. It is true that you need oxygen to eventually oxidize the lactic acid, but that doesn't mean you have to breathe heavily. Breathing heavily reflects a rate of oxygen consumption, getting rid of lactic acid is a "amount" question--i.e. ...
