a)

Without oxygen. When exercise duration is short and at high intensity, the heart and lungs cannot supply blood and oxygen to muscles as fast as the respiring cells need them. Summarised as: glucose → energy + lactic acid.

b)

With oxygen. When exercise is not too fast and is steady, the heart can supply all the oxygen that the working muscles need. Summarised as: glucose + oxygen → energy + carbon dioxide + water.
