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.

What are the similarities in the way a barchan forms and the way a hooked spit forms?
choli [55]

Answer:

The similarities in the way barchan and hooked spit forms are:

First, they are formed from sediment or sand movement.

Second, this movement makes them have a peculiar curved form that provides them their major characteristic.

Explanation:

First of all, barchans are sand formations that are created after the accumulation of sand in a place is moved by the wind and provides them a curved form. However, they exist only out of the sea.

Second, hooked spits are formations that happen after sea movement displaces the sediment to create a curved structure that can only exist in the sea. These formations affect the strength and direction of the waves in the sea due to their curved form.

What is one reason why many geologists did not at first accept the theory of continental drift?
Ivan

The first reason was that his theory of continental drift was just too weak for most geologists to accept. Even though he believed the supercontinent that broke up into different continents moved, he did not have a clear explanation to how the continents moved. The other reason is that some of his explanation clashed with ideas that were widely accepted in the science communities. He used similar fossils from different continents to back up his theory of continental drift. However, at that time, many scientists that had observed similarities in fossils in places like South America and Africa believed there were similar fossils in different continents because of a land bridge that were formed by two continents.


Many science communities believe that land bridges allowed migration of many different species and even people to one place to another by large bodies of water frozen by low temperature known as ice age.
