The correct answer is: A) lactic acid.

During the exercise, muscle cells use anaerobic respiration in order to make enough energy in the form of ATP. Anaerobic respiration doesn’t require oxygen, but glucose is broken down to produce energy. Glucose is broken down to pyruvate in the process called glycolysis. Next step is convert of pyruvate into lactic acid (or lactate).

During the exercise, the oxygen level in muscle cells decreases, which results in anaerobic respiration of the cells.

Epinephrine causes the enzyme glycogen phosphorylase to break down glycogen within a cell. Epinephrine performs this task on int
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The fact that it reveals is that:

Epinephrine binds to the receptor tyrosine kinase on the cell membrane and does not act on glycogen phosphorylase.

Explanation:

In cellular respiration, epinephrine is a neurotransmitter and a plasma membrane hormone receptor.  It is not a lipid-derived hormone, but rather an amino acid-derived hormone. As a result, they are unable to pass through the plasma membrane of cells. They bind to receptors on the outer surface of the plasma membrane through plasma membrane hormone receptors (receptor's tyrosine kinase of the cell membrane) because they are lipid insoluble hormones.

Unlike steroid hormones, lipid insoluble hormones (epinephrine) do not directly influence glycogen phosphorylase or the target cell because they cannot enter the cell and operate directly on DNA. The activation of a signaling pathway occurs when these hormones attach to a cell surface receptor; this activates intracellular activity and performs the hormone's specific effects. Nothing crosses through the cell membrane in this fashion; the hormone that binds at the cell's surface stays at the cell's surface, while the intracellular component stays within the cell.

The surface area/volume ratio is an important factor for one celled organisms. As a cell's volume grows, its surface area/volume
Stells [14]

Answer

Use Mitosis to divide and create daughter cells.

Explanations  

Single-celled organisms use mitosis to reproduce. Both growth and reproduction in unicellular organisms are mutually inclusive. When the cell’s volume grows, the ratio of surface area to volume decreases creating challenges in acquisition of nutrients because there will be too much cytoplasm for a given amount of nuclear material , thus the cell divides by mitosis to reproduce daughter cells and the process begins again.
