Answer:

The correct answer is B. the two strands of DNA must separate.

Explanation:

DNA is a double-stranded structure. The two strands are joined together by the formation of hydrogen bonds between complementary nucleotides. So before the replication takes place these two strands must be separated.

The separation of DNA strand is accomplished by the action of a helicase enzyme which breaks the hydrogen bond between complementary nucleotides and separated the two DNA strands.  

After separation, the DNA polymerase binds to separated DNA and replicating the DNA. So the right answer is B.

When heart muscles cells are deprived of oxygen, the heart still pumps. what must the heart cells be able to do? transform lacta
katrin2010 [14]
The heart cells must be able to continue aerobic metabolism when skeletal muscle cannot. Aerobic metabolism is a part of cellular respiration and involves body cells making energy through glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport/oxidative. It is done in the heart at a rate below 85% of maximum heart rate and does not use vigorous muscle contraction. fatty acids , ketone bodies and carbohydrates are the primary substrates of the heart metabolized to generate ATP. The metabolic demands of the heart are the largest than any other organ in the body, and normal cardiac metabolism is required to fuel contractile function and viability.
