What energy system can produce a lot of lactic acid and is relatively inefficient at generating ATP?
A) ATP-CP
B) extracellular
C) glycolytic
D) aerobic
Lactic Acid
An organic compound produced in muscles during intense activity, often associated with muscle fatigue.
Glycolytic
Relating to or involving the breakdown of glucose by enzymes, producing energy and pyruvic acid.
ATP
Short for Adenosine Triphosphate, a molecule that carries energy within cells for metabolism.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The glycolytic energy system is known for producing a lot of lactic acid during exercise. This energy system utilizes glucose to generate ATP through a process called glycolysis. However, glycolysis is relatively inefficient at generating ATP compared to the aerobic energy system. The ATP-CP system and extracellular energy system do not produce lactic acid and are not necessarily inefficient at generating ATP.
