Answer:

The correct answer is - tight junctions.

Explanation:

Tight junctions are one of the cell-cell junctions that make a barrier to the passage of material which is a present in epithelia. This barrier is impermeable to most of the materials with soluble molecules. This barrier is made up of the occludin and claudin proteins.

Tight epithelia have tight junctions and examples of such junctions are the distal convoluted tubule or DCT, and the collecting duct of the nephron in the kidney.

Thus, the correct answer is - tight junctions.

Which of the following fermentation methods can occur in animal skeletal muscles?

Blababa [14]

Answer: The correct answer would be lactic acid fermentation.

Explanation:

In humans, specially in muscle cells, lactic acid fermentation takes place during high intensity exercise. During exercise when oxygen supply fails to meet the demands of muscle, they undergo lactic acid fermentation instead of cellular respiration.

During this process, the pyruvate (end product of glycolysis) is converted into the lactate with the help of enzyme lactate dehydrogenase.

It regenerates NAD⁺ lost in the glycolysis and thus, helps in continuous working of glycolysis.
