Why is pyruvate converted to lactate in anaerobic conditions?

1 answer:

3 0

Because there is a lack of sufficient oxygen in muscle cells. For muscle cells to convert pyruvate into usable energy (ATP), there must be a sufficient amount of oxygen available to the cells. When there is not, the body has the ability to convert it to lactate which can provide energy when little oxygen is available.

Barbara has curly hair. Her genotype for this trait is CC. What do you infer from this?

Anvisha [2.4K]

Alleles are usually represented by three different methods using two alphabets; when the two alphabets are small letters, it means that both alleles are recessive; when the two alphabets are capital letters, it means that both alleles are dominant and when one of the letter is capitalized and the other a lower case, it means that one of the allele is dominant while the other is recessive. Genotype CC means that the two alleles for curly hair are dominant.
