Question: Why do organisms without oxygen need to convert pyruvate to lactate?
A) because pyruvate is toxic to the cells
B) in order to regenerate NAD+
C) in order to use lactate in the citric acid cycle
D) because lactate is needed to produce ATP
Answer:
B) in order to regenerate NAD+
Explanation:
Kreb's cycle and electron transport chain (ETC) are the aerobic stages of cellular respiration. ETC regenerates NAD+ and FAD+ by oxidation of NADH and FADH2 produced during glycolysis and Kreb's cycle. Here, oxygen serves as the terminal electron acceptor.
Glycolytic reactions use NAD+ as an electron acceptor and produce NADH. Therefore, a constant supply of NAD+ is required to sustain glycolysis. In absence of oxygen, ETC cannot occur and organisms convert pyruvate into lactate. Pyruvate is reduced in lactate and NADH serves as the electron donor. Thereby, lactate fermentation regenerates NAD+ to continue the process of glycolysis.

Explanation:
example 1: two male bucks cannot inhabit the same habitat or area because one needs all the females or pride for itself so it chases away the others
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
How the finch offspring "looks" is determined by the genes it inherits (nature) whereas the offspring will be able to learn the song from their parent (nurture). In this case, it is the male parent that teaches the song to their young. Hence, the song that the finch offspring learns is from the male finch parent which is why it remains the same as before.
