Answer:

a. lactic acid fermentation

Explanation:

Under conditions of intense exercise, the oxygen gas obtained by pulmonary respiration may be insufficient to meet the needs of muscle cells in the work of obtaining energy from cellular respiration.

However, even in the absence of oxygen gas, our muscle cells can release the available energy in glucose, leading to even smaller amounts of ATP molecules. Under these conditions, muscle cells perform lactic fermentation, a process that is virtually identical to glycolysis (the first set of cellular respiration reactions), except that pyruvic acid is transformed into lactic acid with the formation of 2 ATPs.  Despite the lower energy yield, fermentation ensures the energy supply to the muscle. Lactic acid formed under these conditions has been associated with muscle pain and fatigue characteristic of intense physical exercise. Recent research, however, has shown that pain is caused by muscle fiber micro-injuries rather than lactic acid as it is rapidly metabolized and eliminated.

What is the difference between recessive and dominate
zaharov [31]

The terms dominant and recessive describe the inheritance patterns of certain traits. ... For a recessive allele to produce a recessive phenotype, the individual must have two copies, one from each parent. An individual with one dominant and one recessive allele for a gene will have the dominant phenotype.

Hope this helpsss:))))

22) Phosphorus and sulfur are returned to the soil primarily by the actions of
Fudgin [204]
I believe the answer is decomposers. Does that make sense in the context of what you have learned in class? If you look up "the circle of phosphorous," you can see images that show that decomposers, like fungi and microbes break down dead animals and plants using some of their phosphorous, but what isn't used is returned to the soil. The same can be said for sulfur. Decomposers like fungi and bacteria break down dead plants and animals and return sulfur to the soil. 

I want to warn you that there is a slight possibility that I might be incorrect. I am still pretty sure I am right. The only thing that makes me question the correctness of my answer is another brainily question I saw when i was looking up this stuff. Two people had responded to that Middle schoolers question and had said the answer was producers. They didn't give any explanation for their answers. So, I am confused as to how they both got the same answer that was different from mine.  No material that I have seen regarding either the phosphorous cycle or sulfur cycle has shown plants as RETURNING the most sulfur and phosphorous into the soil. Usually, it has been depicted that producers, such as plants, UTILIZE the most phosphorous and Sulfur from the soil.

Differentiate between the chromosome theory of inheritance and the gene chromosome Theory
Romashka [77]

Answer:

The Chromosomal Theory of inheritance, proposed by Sutton and Boveri, states that chromosomes are the vehicles of genetic heredity. Neither Mendelian genetics nor gene linkage is perfectly accurate; instead, chromosome behavior involves segregation, independent assortment, and occasionally, linkage.
