Why is pyruvate converted to lactate in anaerobic conditions?

Biology
1 answer:
ddd [48]3 years ago
3 0
<span>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.</span>

1) A plant gets 628.3 kcal of energy from the sun, what energy is left at the quartenary consumer level?
Jobisdone [24]

1. The energy left in the Quaternary consumer level is 0.06283 kcal.

2. 0.65 units of energy  is still available at the tertiary consumer level.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Energy flow in an ecosystem obeys the ten percentage law According to which ten percentage of energy from a trophic level gets transferred to the next trophic level. In the given question plants belong to the trophic level , producers  and it transfers 10 percentage of its energy to the primary consumer level.

In the question 1 the energy that the producers have is 628.3 kcal. Ten percentage of this i.e 62.83 kcal gets transferred to the primary consumer level. Ten percent of that which is 6.283 kcal gets transferred to the secondary consumer level.  Ten percent of 6.283 kcal i.e  0.6283 kcal energy is transferred to the tertiary consumer level.

Thus the Quaternary consumer level gets ten percentage of 0.6283 kcal i.e 0.06283 kcal. In question B the initial energy at the primary level is 650 units. Ten percentage of 650 i.e 65 units reach the primary consumer  level. Ten percentage of this 65 units then reaches the secondary consumer level. Thus the secondary consumer level has ten percent of 65 i.e 6.5 units of energy.  

So the energy that reaches the tertiary consumer level is ten percentage of 6.5 i.e 0.65 units.

Large proteins such as albumin remain in capillaries rather than diffusing out. T/F
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Large proteins are regarded as large size molecules , or macro-molecules. And they are known to made up or contain polymers of structural units, which are known as amino acids.

In summary, large proteins are generally known to consist of several distinct protein domains, i.e structural units that fold more or less independently of each other.

Therefore , in this case, the large protein will remain in the capillary, and eventually result to the development of an osmotic pressure difference across capillary walls.

Many naturally occurring environmental exposures increase risk for cancer. Residents in many parts of North America are exposed
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

RADON GAS

Explanation:

Radon is a naturally occurring gas, which is produced due to the radioactive decay of the Radium element. It is one of the dense gas that is mostly concentrated in the lower portion of the houses, and are trapped in the cracks and fractures of the walls of houses and buildings.

Radon gas is an invisible, colorless and odorless gas, which is a very harmful gas, and exposure to Radon gas can cause an individual to suffer from cancer.

In recent studies, it has been found that in many parts of North America, a large number of residents are exposed to Radon gas, which led to an increased risk of cancer.
