A swimmer sprints a short distance for competition. The swimmer is not able to take in enough oxygen to make the ATP needed for the sprint. Which of the following processes is most likely going to occur in the swimmer's muscle cells during the competition? (2 points)
A. Aerobic respiration would continue until oxygen is no longer available, leading to cell death.
B. Aerobic respiration will continue to make the same amount of ATP since oxygen is not required.
C. Anaerobic respiration would be used to produce small amounts of ATP in the absence of oxygen.
D. Anaerobic respiration will produce more ATP than the process used in the presence of oxygen.
<u>Answer:</u>
A swimmer sprints a short distance for competition. The swimmer is not able to take in enough oxygen to make the ATP needed for the sprint. Anaerobic respiration would be used to produce small amounts of ATP in the absence of oxygen and it is the process happens in the swimmer's muscle cells during competition.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- A Swimming sprinter will spend his maximum energy while to cover a short distance in his competition. Quickly he will reduce his oxygen level.
- Oxygen will produce an ATP molecule (Adenosine Triphosphate) which is required for a sprinter.
- The ATP molecule will produce energy for the cells. Aerobic respiration takes place only when in the presence of oxygen.
- While swimming they will not get enough oxygen so the Anaerobic respiration takes place to produce ATP molecule.
Answer:
The Respiratory system allows the entry of oxygen into the body and releases Carbon Dioxide. The Oxygen travels across lung tissue into blood vessels and the blood carries the oxygen around the body. Thus the Respiratory and Circulatory systems work together in gas exchange which is vital in Homeostasis.
Answer:
Plants are valuable since they provide our food, materials for shelter, and purify the air (photosynthesis).
Animals such like livestock, supply us with food, fiber and leather.
The Endangered species act can help a local economy because it helps to supply clean air and pure water. It also protects our natural supplies.
Translation is the second phase of protein synthesis. This process occurs in the cytoplasm in an organelle called the ribosome. Where the strand of RNA is deciphered to synthesize peptides.
