Oxygen, neccessary for cellular respiration, is the answer. As oxygen becomes scarce, your cells begin to aerobically produce very little ATP, in effect fermenting and producing lactic acid.

Answer:

Oxygen

Explanation:

We as humans are typical eukaryotic organisms and like other eukaryotic organisms, our cells undergo a metabolic process in order to release energy, called RESPIRATION. Cellular respiration can either be aerobic (presence of oxygen) or anaerobic (absence of oxygen).

Our cells undergo aerobic respiration, which involves the breaking down of organic food molecules (glucose) in the presence of oxygen to produce CO2, water and energy (ATP). Aerobic cellular respiration consists of three steps; Glycolysis, Kreb's cycle and Oxidative phosphorylation. Glycolysis occurs without oxygen but the other two processes require oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor.

However, when the cells are in short supply of oxygen (O2), the cells use an alternative method to produce energy. This alternative method is called LACTIC ACID FERMENTATION, which involves the conversion of pyruvate (from glycolysis), in a series of reactions, to lactic acid without oxygen.

In a prolonged oxygen deficiency, the lactic acid builds up or accumulates in the muscle cells to cause MUSCLE PULL.

How sexual reproduction increases genetic diversity in many species of plants and animals
Dafna11 [192]




Sexual reproduction is a process involving the fusion of two gametes to


Gametes are special reproductive cells produced by meiosis. It produces genetically dissimilar offspring. Offspring may inherit beneficial qualities from both parents and there is a greater genetic variation in the offspring, leading to species that are better adapted to changes in the environment.

What is are amino acids????
Anon25 [30]

Amino acids are the monomers that make up proteins. Amino acids are made of a carboxyl group (Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen), an amino group (Nitrogen and two Hydrogen), and finally an R group which differs in each amino acid. That R group is what makes each amino acid different! They can also act as enzymes. Essentially enzymes act as biological catalysts and control the functions of the cell and build cells.
