Chapter 7, Problem 4IA
Summary Introduction

To describe: Is this outcome consistent with the hypothesis that fish maintain pH levels of blood by delaying the release of lactic acid from muscles and the reason for which this might be beneficial to it.

Introduction: Animals, for example, tart fish that live in the oxygen-deprived environment are not able to obtain energy for muscle movements from the Krebs cycle. Therefore, they depend on the glycolytic pathway for ATP and donate electrons to the product formed, which is pyruvate, producing lactic acid.
