Answer:

A. He has a large buildup of lactate in his muscles.

Explanation:

Ideally, our body cells, via the process of aerobic cellular respiration, need oxygen to break down glucose. However, during rigorous activities or exercises, oxygen can become unavailable for use. In this case, the body cells switch to use another way of cellular respiration, which is FERMENTATION.

This fermentation causes a build up of lactic acid/lactate (its byproduct) in the cells of the muscles being used, which physically causes a burning and aching sensation just as the case of this hiker. The climbing of the steep path is causing causing the fast usage of oxygen in his cells.

Answer:

The idea of spontaneous generation was disproved by Francesco Redi.

Explanation:

  • Spontaneous generation is a theory that states that living organism can generate from an inanimate object.
  • In, 1668, Francesco Redi demonstrate an experiment explaining the theory of spontaneous generation by using meat.He noticed that flies laid eggs on meat which was kept open and maggots developed.
  • He took three pieces of meat to do the experiment.
  • The first piece of meat was kept open and as usual maggot development takes place.
  • With the 2nd piece of meat,he covered it with a piece of cheesecloth and noticed that,flies lay eggs on the cheesecloth but when he removed the cloth,maggot did't form.
  • Next, he took a piece of paper and cover the meat piece, and he noticed that flies did't lay any eggs and thus no maggots formed.

Where does pyruvate as intermediate take place in photosynthesis? plz explain also thanks
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Pyruvate take place after the process of glycolysis.

Explanation:

Pyruvate as intermediate take place in the process of photosynthesis after glycolysis process. One glucose molecule is converted into two molecules of pyruvate. This pyruvate molecule then converted into acetyl CoA, which is a two-carbon molecule. A molecule of coenzyme A is a very important reactant for this reaction, which produces a molecule of carbon dioxide and reduces a NAD+ to NADH.

In which direction does the replication fork move as dna replication occurs?
attashe74 [19]
DNA replication occurs in the 5 prime (5') to 3 prime (3') direction.
I'm sure you've heard this many times. I tutor in genetics, and all of my students can rattle that off. Less understand what it means.

First, understanding what 5' and 3' mean is important. DNA is composed of a ribose sugar, a phosphate group, and a base (A,T,G,C). The sugar has a phosphate group attached to its fifth carbon, and a hydroxyl group on its 3rd carbon. Nucleotides (separate components of DNA) are linked by the phosphate group and the hydroxyl group. So, every nucleotide is linked at the phosphate group and the hydroxyl group besides two - the two nucleotides at either end of the strand of DNA. The one that leaves a phosphate group exposed is called the 5' end of DNA, and the one that leaves a hydroxyl group exposed is called the 3' end of DNA.

<span>A problem with many students just memorizing that replication occurs in the 5' to 3' direction is that there are two strands of DNA involved in replication. DNA polymerase (the major enzyme responsible for replication) reads the already existing strand of DNA in the 3' to 5' direction, and creates the new strand of DNA in the 5' to 3' direction (meaning that it adds nucleotides to the 3' end of the new strand).</span>
