Well The body converts glucose to energy which produces lactic acid as a by-product. As that builds up in the muscles, it begins causing cramps and fatigue as a signal to stop. So you have to stop when you reach the lactate threshold. And Over the course of a sustained run at half-marathon pace or faster, the amount of energy (and thus oxygen) needed to maintain that pace gradually inches upward. Over the course of 10-20 minutes, your oxygen consumption can drift upward by as much as 25 per cent, making it progressively harder for you to Hold up.

Is the blood pressure measured in the calf larger or smaller than the blood pressure measured on the upper arm?

lana66690 [7]

The blood pressure measured in the calf is lower than it is in the arm. Blood pressure in the body is highest right at the ascending arch of the aorta. From that point, the pressure decreases as blood moves "distally" from the heart. Purely mechanically, legs are farther away from the heart than are the arms, thus pressure is less.

The three formed elements found in blood are red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Compare their functions to one a

Firdavs [7]

Well the red blood cells ( erythrocytes) contain the oxygen carrying pigment known as haemoglobin. Hence RBCs carry oxygen to every cell ion the body.
The white blood cells ( leukocytes) form the cell mediated defence system of the body, they kill microbes and foreign particles either by phagocytosis or lysozymic reactions.
The platelets (thrombocytes) help in the blood clotting process.
This is my comparism of tne blood components.

Why does population size of a species rise and fall around the carrying capacity, rather than immediately stop growing and flatt

salantis [7]

Answer:

soarce google

Explanation:

Competition for resources like food and space cause the growth rate to stop increasing, so the population levels off. This flat upper line on a growth curve is the carrying capacity. The carrying capacity (K) is the maximum population size that can be supported in a particular area without destroying the habitat.
