The 21 amino acids can be arranged in many different ways. It is possible with just this small number of amino acids to create thousands of different types of proteins. Think of amino acids like they were little connecting blocks, such as legos. You have 21 of them before you. How many different ways can you arrange them? The formation of protein is similar.

During periods of intense exercise, cells do not receive enough oxygen to perform the normal process of aerobic cellular respira
Wewaii [24]

Answer: for me the best option is D.

Explanation: lets explain this.

Cellular respiration begins with a process that divides the glucose within the cells making it readily available as a source of energy. This process can occur without oxygen (anaerobic respiration) or in the presence of oxygen (aerobic respiration). Anaerobic respiration generates more excess waste (lactate) than aerobic . Besides, high levels of lactate build within the muscle cells. Excess lactate slows the cellular respiratory process and is experienced as a burning sensation in the muscles if exercise continues.
