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.

Contrast what happens to thermal energy in evaporation and condensation
Alex17521 [72]
Answer - Will try to Answer in simplest form with Reasoning. Since no one responded.

1.Solar-Thermal energy. For example the sun radiates thermal energy aka heat which then turns Liquid aka Water in gas molecules because they are escaping. (Evaporation) 

2. Condensation happens when the water molecule vapor clump together before thermal energy can be separated by it. Such as the clouds which they form tiny vapor/mist. Thats why when your on a plane and when you hit thru that cloud at hundreds of mph. Your hitting water molecules lol.

Which observation would be the best evidence for a recent founder event or population bottleneck?
Bingel [31]
The best evidence of such phenomena could be a population's genetic variation decrease.
When a population bottleneck occur it means that for some reason (i.e. environmental events) the size of a population is largely reduced. This leads to reduction of the genetic variation in that new smaller population. When a bottleneck occur, the founder effect is normally seen, which is that one population is established by a small group of a previously larger population leading once again the genetic variation, now though with a bigger population, to be very reduced.

What property makes phospholipids ideal building blocks for cell membranes?
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

The polarity of the phospholipid makes it ideal for a building block of cell membranes.

Explanation:

There is the tails which are hydrophobic (water fearing) and the heads which are hydrophilic (water loving). These properties of phospholipids allow the tails to go towards eachother and heads to face the water which maintains a solid structure allowing certain materials to pass through.
