The question is incomplete. The complete question is:
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.
The blood carries carbon dioxide away from the cells
Answer: Option B
Inductive reasoning.
Explanation:
It is inductive reasoning because inductive reasoning is a type of reasoning in which general informations are made based on some specific observations or information even when the conclusion is not complete guaranteed to be true.
This means that you make a guess's or generalizations based on the information you have at hand.
For example; The left handed people the you know uses left hand in right and you now make the conclusion that all left handed people write with their left hand only.
