Answer:

D. Jesse Owens didn’t allow the racial discrimination he faced at home or abroad to keep him from doing what he loved and succeeding at it.

Explanation:

In the informational essay <em>Jesse Owens </em>by Shelby Ostergaard, the whole essay details how persistent James Cleveland Owens was in his desire to achieve his dream. He did not let the racial discrimination and prejudice deter him from doing what he loves, despite what others may say or treat him.

The main idea of the whole essay seems to be that he did not allow the racial discrimination he faced at home and even at the college or even the treatment he met after winning the Olympics deter his aim. Hitler refused to shake his hand after his win, the racial discrimination back at home did not change even after winning a medal for his country, the country that seems to love him yet not care about him at all. But despite all these, he did not stop doing what he loved, running towards his goals, and which, in his own words, is one thing <em>"you could do by yourself and under your own power"</em>.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Under what conditions is fermentation likely to occur
gregori [183]
     For humans, lactic acid fermentation occurs when you exert yourself to the point that your muscles can no longer get oxygen fast enough to generate energy via aerobic respiration. When this happens, your muscles produce energy by the far less efficient process of lactic acid fermentation. This is also true in most other mammals In bacteria, however lactic acid fermentation can either be the normal method that a bacteria has for producing energy, or it can be a method used when there is no oxygen available. Which of these will be the case depends on the type of bacteria.
