Geography

zvonat [6]3 years ago
6 0
A mineral is described as a naturally occurring chemical compound, usually of crystalline form and not produced by life processes.

Minerals are naturally occurring
They are not made by humans

Minerals are inorganic
They have never been alive and are not made up from plants or animals

Minerals are solids
They are not liquids (like water), or gases (like the air around you)

Minerals have a definite chemical composition
Each one is made of a particular mix of chemical elements

Minerals have an ordered atomic arrangement
The chemical elements that make up each mineral are arranged in a particular way - this is why minerals 'grow' as crystals

REY [17]

Answer: Anaerobic respiration or Fermentation

Explanation:

When we are engaged in intense physical activity such as running or riding a bike, the muscles need energy to function and they get this from aerobic respiration.

They will quickly run out of the oxygen required to sufficiently use aerobic respiration however and will turn to anaerobic respiration which can produce energy in the absence of oxygen.

As the body uses anaerobic respiration however, lactic acid is produced and builds up in the muscles. It is this lactic acid that leads to the muscles feeling sore.
