Answer:

A. anaerobic respiration in muscle cells, forming lactic acid

Explanation:

Running marathon is a vigorous exercise, which often leads to excessive use of oxygen in the cells of the athlete. This causes the cells to switch from the aerobic (with oxygen) to the anaerobic (without oxygen) mode of respiration. This anaerobic respiration produces a product called LACTATE OR LACTIC ACID.

The lactic acid becomes excessive and gets stored in the muscle cells of the athlete. This often leads to cramps, muscle pulls etc. during the marathon. Therefore, an individual running a marathon may experience periods of oxygen deprivation that can lead to anaerobic respiration in muscle cells, forming lactic acid.

egoroff_w [7]

Explanation:

A student of ecology researched about the low growth of algae in the Big Moose lake as compared to the Brant lake, though Big Moose lake has higher level of nitrogen and nutrients in it.

Nitrogen and phosphorous are an important element for the growth of algae in water bodies but in presence of pollutants in the water bodies and low oxygen content, the algae grows in slower rate. Besides, slower growth of algae may also affected by the acid rain that happens near Moose lake, which is harmful for algae growth due ti the presence of sulphur.

E. coli cells grown on 15N medium are transferred to 14N medium and allowed to grow for two more generations (two rounds of DNA

White raven [17]

Answer:

Option (d).

Explanation:

DNA is the genetic material of all the organism except some viruses. DNA is composed of nitrogenous base, deoxyribose pentose sugar and the phosphate group.

DNA replicatese by semi-conservative mode of replication in which one the daughter DNA consists of one newly synthesized strand and one parental strand. This mode of replication was explained by Messelson and Sthal experiment. The cells from 15N medium are transferred to 14N medium the band of intermediate density was observed. The daughter DNA consists of one 15N DNA strand and one 14N DNA strnd. This strand undergo replication in the 14N medium. This time one low density DNA band ( contains 14N - 14N DNA strand) and one intermediate density band ( 14N-15N DNA).

Thus, the correct answer is option (d).
