The end products of both aerobic and anaerobic catabolism of glucose can cause a drop in the blood pH.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The end products of anaerobic catabolism of glucose, such as lactic acid, can contribute to an increase in hydrogen ions (H+) in the blood, leading to a decrease in pH and potentially acidosis. Similarly, the end products of aerobic catabolism of glucose, namely carbon dioxide and water, can also affect blood pH if there is an accumulation of carbon dioxide which can lead to respiratory acidosis. Therefore, both aerobic and anaerobic catabolism of glucose can cause a drop in the blood pH.
