When the swimmer is unable to take in enough oxygen for the sprint, the ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) will be compromised. In such conditions, the body will use anaerobic respiration to produce the ATP. Anaerobic respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen. It used the electron acceptors in place of the oxygen in the respiratory cycle. The amount of the ATP produced is, however, less in anaerobic respiration.
Hence, the answer is 'Option C - Anaerobic respiration would be used to produce small amounts of ATP in the absence of oxygen'.
You would want this observation to be in an area with a lot of biotic and abiotic factors, so the best place for it is an ecosystem.
It's the first one where it resist change in pH solutions by neutralizing :)
Answer:
The relative frequency of the mutation will increase as time passes.
Explanation:
This random mutation has, by chance, caused a phenotype that is beneficial to the bacteria. This mutation improves the fitness of the bacteria, as they are able to utilize more food sources. This reduces the chance of starvation and death of the cell. Therefore, cells with this mutation are more likely to survive, and for longer.
In times where nutrients are scarce, bacteria without the population will die off. But the bacteria with this mutation will be more likely to survive and pass on their genetic material. Therefore, over time, the frequency of this mutation will increase.
This process is called Convergent Evolution.
I hope this helped ^_^
