Certain changes in a plant or animal could cause unpredicted allergic reactions in some people which, in its original form, did not occur. Other changes could make an organism toxic to humans or other organisms. These concerns range from ethical issues to a lack of knowledge on the effects genetic engineering may have.

Answer:

Here are the following options to complete the question

Which of the statements below is the best explanation of why athletes would need to monitor lactate levels?

A. During anaerobic respiration, lactate levels increase when muscles cells need more energy, however muscles cells eventually fatigue, thus athletes should modify their activities to increase aerobic respiration.

B. During aerobic respiration, muscles cells produce too much lactate which causes a rise in the pH of the muscle cells, thus athletes must consume increased amounts of sports drinks, high in electrolytes, to buffer the pH.

C. During anaerobic respiration, muscle cells receive too little oxygen and begin to convert lactate to pyruvate (pyruvic acid), thus athletes experience cramping and fatigue

D. During aerobic respiration, muscle cells cannot produce enough lactate to fuel muscle cell contractions and muscles begin to cramp, thus athletic performance suffers.

A is THE CORRECT ANSWER

Explanation:

When the muscle cells undergoes anaerobic respiration, lactate are produced. Too much accumulation of lactate results in muscle fatigue. It is necessary for the athlete to prevent high accumulation by adjusting their exercise level

Why are cancers named differently based on where they originate from in the body?

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

When cancer spreads, it keeps this same name. For example, if kidney cancer spreads to the lungs, it is still kidney cancer, not lung cancer. Lung cancer would be an example of a secondary tumor.
