solmaris [256]3 years ago

Answer:Fossil fuels produce large quantities of carbon dioxide when burned. Carbon emissions trap heat in the atmosphere and lead to climate change. In the United States, the burning of fossil fuels, particularly for the power and transportation sectors, accounts for about three-quarters of our carbon emissions.

Answer:

The main component in fossil fuels/natural gases is called methane. When methane is burned with oxygen, it produces water and a large amount of greenhouse gases (commonly known as carbon dioxide). Carbon emissions from this process trap heat in the earth's atmosphere which leads to climate change. These gases are able to trap heat because their molecular structures allow them to absorb the infrared radiation from the sun.

Hope this helps!

Virty [35]

Answer:

...cells switch to an emergency mode in which the body uses anaerobic metabolism during exercise to provide the necessary fuel for the muscles.

Explanation:

Anaerobic metabolism is the generation of energy by burning carbohydrates in the absence of oxygen. This happens when the lungs cannot place enough oxygen in the bloodstream to meet the energy demands of the muscles. It is used only for short periods of activity.

When there is not enough oxygen in the bloodstream, glucose and glycogen cannot be broken down into carbon dioxide and water. Instead, lactic acid is produced, which can accumulate in the muscles and degrade muscle function.
