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.

How much oxygen is available at a peak of a mountain
sergij07 [2.7K]
Depends on what mountain you are on 


If you are on Everest, then the amount of effective oxygen available would be 6.9% (0 altitude would be 20.9) 

that is why anyone should always bring oxygen tanks when climbing a high mountain

What evidence does the dische test provide that helps confirm that dna was extracted from the strawberries. Why do you think it
vfiekz [6]

Ripe strawberries are an excellent source for extracting DNA because they are easy to pulverize and contain enzymes called pectinases and cellulases that help to break down cell walls. And most important, strawberries have eight copies of each chromosome (they are octoploid), so there is a lot of DNA to isolate.

What does DNA extracted from a strawberry look like?

Observe the line between the strawberry mixture and the alcohol. You will notice a white thread-like cloud appearing at this line. This is strawberry DNA. The DNA will clump together and float to the top of the alcohol layer.

What is unique about strawberry DNA?

Strawberries yield more DNA than any other fruit because they have eight copies of each type of chromosome. The long, thick fibers of DNA store the information for the functioning of the chemistry of life. DNA is present in every cell of plants and animals.

We intention extract DNA from fruit to investigate how it examines and feels. This procedure is identical to what scientists have to do before they can use the statement contained in this DNA. This announcement can be used to enhance crops so that they are more resistant to infection, insect invasion, or differences in climate.

Compare neap and spring tides. Give two comparisons in your answer.
Shtirlitz [24]
<span>Please remember that spring tides occur approximately twice a month, when the earth and moon and sun are about co-linear. That is about at full moon and about at new moon. Neap tides occur at half moons, when the moon is off to the side of the line between earth and sun. I hope this can help</span>
