person who lives close to sea level and usually goes jogging in the morning. When that person runs at a place like Denver with high elevation she notices she isn't able to run as fast up in Denver as she usually does at home. She knows it is colder and there is less oxygen at high elevation than there is at his home. Why she feel like she didn't have the energy to keep up with her usual pace. a. her body wasnt able to begin glycolysis due to lack of oxygen b. her body was producing less ATP due to lack of oxygen  c. her body wasnt getting enough external heat input

Question

A person who lives close to sea level and usually goes jogging in the morning. When that person runs at a place like Denver with high elevation she notices she isn't able to run as fast up in Denver as she usually does at home. She knows it is colder and there is less oxygen at high elevation than there is at his home. Why she feel like she didn't have the energy to keep up with her usual pace.

a. her body wasnt able to begin glycolysis due to lack of oxygen

b. her body was producing less ATP due to lack of oxygen 

c. her body wasnt getting enough external heat input 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Answer : she feel like she didn't have the energy to keep up with her usual pace because : 

 

B) her body was producing less ATP due to lack of oxygen 

Reason :  this is because the body converts the glucose molecules into the energy molecules known as ATP. It is seen that if there is no oxygen present the body only produces 2 molecules of ATP but with the oxygen the body produces 38 ATP molecules which are more in number.  Lack of oxygen can cause less ATP production.
