You are growing human muscles cells in the lab and you are trying to test how well the cells survive with decreasing concentrations of oxygen. As part of your experiment, you are measuring the rate of glucose use, the rate of mitochondrial ATP production and the pH of the solution surrounding the cells. As the concentration of oxygen becomes lower änd lower, what changes might you expect to observe in these cells? A. The rate of glucose use would increase, the rate of mitochondrial ATP production would decrease, and the pH of the solution would decrease (become more acidic). B. The rate of glucose use would decrease, the rate of mitochondrial ATP production would decrease, and the pH of the solution would increase (become more basic). C. The rate of glucose use would increase, the rate of mitochondrial ATP production would increase, and the pH of the solution would decrease (become more acidic) D. The rate if glucose use would decrease, the rate of mitochondrial ATP production would decrease, and the pH of the solution would decrease (become more acidic). Select the correct options above and explain why you chose that answer. Your explanation should include explanation of the significance of the parameters measured (and how they link back to events occurring in the muscle cell as well as the link between those parameters and oxygen).

A. The rate of glucose use would increase, the rate of mitochondrial ATP production
would decrease, and the pH of the solution would decrease (become more acidic).
B. The rate of glucose use would decrease, the rate of mitochondrial ATP production
would decrease, and the pH of the solution would increase (become more basic).
C. The rate of glucose use would increase, the rate of mitochondrial ATP production
would increase, and the pH of the solution would decrease (become more acidic)
D. The rate if glucose use would decrease, the rate of mitochondrial ATP production
would decrease, and the pH of the solution would decrease (become more acidic).
Select the correct options above and explain why you chose that answer. Your
