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.

5. In the following picture, label each of the letters<br> with what is occuring
sp2606 [1]

Answer: see explanation

Explanation:

A. substrate

B. Active site

C. Enzyme binds with substrate

D. Active site of enzyme

E. Products leaving active site

Simplified enzymatic reaction. The substrate reversibly binds to the active site of the enzyme, forming the enzyme-substrate (ES) complex. The bound substrate is converted to product by catalytic groups in the active site, forming the enzyme-product complex (EP). The bound products are released, returning the enzyme to its unbound form, ready to catalyze another round of converting substrate to product.

All living things contain carbon.which of the following statements is true about carbon atoms?
vfiekz [6]

I. Each carbon atom can form single bonds with up to four other carbon atoms. II. Each carbon atom can form double bonds with up to two other carbon atoms. III. Carbon atoms can join together to form chains or rings. IV. A single molecule of some compounds can contain thousands of carbon atoms.

Answer:

All the given choices

Explanation:

Carbon is a very interesting element which is the backbone of most organic compounds.

Organic compounds are made up of carbon. Carbon forms a wide range of compound due to the following properties;

  • An atom of carbon has 4 valence electrons and can bond with 4 other carbon.
  • Carbon can form single, double and triple covalent bonds.
  • They can join together to form rings or chains.
