Which compound is associated with a burning sensation as a result of anaerobic respiration?

  • A. Carbon dioxide
  • B. Lactic acid
  • C. Oxygen
  • D. Glucose
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: During anaerobic respiration, the body produces lactic acid as a byproduct when oxygen is limited. The accumulation of lactic acid can lead to a burning sensation in muscles due to its build-up. Therefore, lactic acid is the correct choice as it is the compound associated with the burning sensation related to anaerobic respiration.
