Answer:
The correct answer is C. A buildup of lactic acid in the tissues.
Sore muscles after vigorous exercise are the result of lactic acid accumulation in the muscles.
Vigorous exercise reduces the levels of oxygen available in the muscles due to which complete oxidation of the glucose could not take place.
Muscle cells switch to another process called as lactic acid fermentation to produce energy. In this process, lactate dehydrogenase converts pyruvate into lactate and reduces NADH to NAD⁺.
This NAD⁺ enables the continuation of glycolysis which results in the production of net 2 ATP.
In addition, influx of materials such as nutrients, WBC, anti-inflammatory compounds etc into the muscle cell (for repair) causes swelling of the muscle fibers which is also the reason for the muscle soreness.
Explanation:
B) protein channel
Lipids are composed of fatty acids which form the hydrobic tail and glycerol which forms the hydrophilic head; glycerol is a 3-Carbon alcohol which is water soluble, while the fatty acid tail is a long chain hydrocarbon (hydrogens attached to a carbon backone) with up to 36 carbons.
Their polarity or arrangement can give these non-polar macromolecules hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. Via <em>diffusion,</em> small water molecules can move across the phospholipid bilayer acts as a semi-permeable membrane into the extracellular fluid or the cytoplasm which are both hydrophilic and contain large concentrations of polar water molecules or other water-soluble compounds. The hydrophilic heads of the bilayer are attracted to water while their water-repellent hydrophobic tails face towards each other- allowing molecules of water to diffuse across the membrane along the concentration gradient.
Transmembrane proteins are embedded within the membrane from the extracellular fluid to the cytoplasm, and are sometimes attached to glycoproteins (proteins attached to carbohydrates) which function as cell surface markers. Carrier proteins and channel proteins are the two major classes of membrane transport proteins.
- Carrier proteins (also called carriers, permeases, or transporters) bind the specific solute to be transported and undergo a series of conformational changes to transfer the bound solute across the membrane. Transport proteins spanning the plasma membrane facilitate the movement of ions and other complex, polar molecules which are typically prevented from moving across the membrane.
- Channel proteins which are pores filled with water versus enabling charged molecules to diffuse across the membrane, from regions of high concentration to regions of lower concentration. This is a passive part of facilitated diffusion
