After a workout, the muscles in a basketball player's legs are very sore. Which of the following statements best explains why the basketball player experiences this muscle soreness after a workout?How are the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration interrelated?

1. There is an increase in the amount of lactic acid being produced in the muscle cells during the process of anaerobic respiration.

2. Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere

Explanation:

Note, medical professionals consider lactic acid a byproduct released when we are engaged in intense physical exercise. Although it is still believed that the increase in the number of lactic acids causes muscle soreness, some medical findings have revealed they have no such effect on muscles.

Put simply, photosynthesis involves a natural cycle where carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere by humans and animals for plants, and green plants undergo a process where they convert carbon dioxide into oxygen for humans. It is interrelated with cellular respiration in the sense that, cellular respiration also involves a convertion (of glucose) to carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere.
