The correct answer is option B, that is, the release of large amounts of greenhouse gases can change Earth's climate.

Fossil fuels refer to hydrocarbons, mainly fuel oil, coal, or natural gas, produced from the leftovers of dead animals and plants. The use of fossil fuels has allowed large-scale industrial development and hugely supplanted water-driven mills, as well as the combustion of peat or wood for heat.  

The burning of fossil fuels by humans is the biggest source of emissions of carbon dioxide that is, one of the greenhouse gases, which permits radioactive forcing and donates to global warming. One of the dreadful effects of global warming is the change in the climatic condition of Earth.

When a muscle is stimulated to contract aerobically, less lactic acid is formed than when it contracts anaerobically because:___
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

5. under aerobic conditions most of the pyruvate generated as a result of glycolysis is oxidized by the citric acid cycle rather than reduced to lactate.

Explanation:

The contraction of muscles occurs in the presence of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) because ATP supplies the muscles with the energy they require for contraction.

Muscles can undergo contraction Aerobically ( in the presence of oxygen) or Anaerobically ( in the absence of oxygen).

When a muscle is stimulated to contract aerobically, less lactic acid is formed than when it contracts anaerobically because under aerobic conditions most of the pyruvate generated as a result of glycolysis is oxidized by the citric acid cycle rather than reduced to lactate.
