The membrane potential in which there is no net movement of the ion across the membrane is called the C. equilibrium potential.

Membrane potential can be described as the different electrical potential that is present inside and outside of a cell due to the sodium-potassium pump. A cell tends to have more potassium ions inside it as compared to the outside. On the other hand, the concentration of sodium ions in a cell is kept lower as compared to the outer environment.

Sodium being a negative ion and potassium being a positive ion creates differences in the electrical potential inside and outside of a cell.

An equilibrium potential is a point where there is no net movement of ions across the membrane because the electric force is equal inside and outside of a cell. The opposing forces are balanced which makes no movement of ions possible.

Exercise scientists at an Olympic training center want to monitor athletes to determine at what point their muscles are function
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c, that is, lactic acid.

Explanation:

One can determine the anaerobic function of muscles by observing the levels of lactic acid buildup in muscles. The production of lactic acid in muscles takes place by the process of anaerobic respiration. At the time of rigorous training or exercise, one requires more amount of energy for a short burst of time.  

As oxygen is already used for higher purposes in the body, the levels of oxygen get reduced for performing any more activities. Thus, in order to generate more energy the process of anaerobic respiration takes place. Anaerobic respiration is the form of respiration that takes place in the absence of oxygen. In the process, one molecule of glucose gets transformed into two molecules of lactic acid, which gets accumulated in the muscles. This production of lactic acid provides a quick form of energy, which is utilized at the time of intense training and thus, one can check the anaerobic functioning of the muscles by observing the levels of lactic acid in the muscles.
