I’m assuming this entire thing is cellular respiration. pathway a most likely represents alcoholic fermentation, B represent lactic acidosis fermentation, C probably represents aerobic cellular respiration. Alcoholic fermentation doesn’t occur in humans, it occurs in micro bacteria and yeast. Lactic acidosis fermentation occurs in humans when there is not oxygen. That’s why you breathe so heavily after sprinting. Cellular respiration just happens naturally. Idk if that’s what the question is asking so feel free to comment and if this helped, brain answer?
Ummmmmmmmmm..... chewing?
prokaryotic gene regulation is geared toward responding
Answer:
At the beginning, aerobic respiration is used by his legs to generate energy when there was still sufficient oxygen intake for energy to be generated via oxidative phosphorylation.
Towards the end of the ride, his legs are generating energy through anaerobic respiration due to insufficient oxygen intake to keep up with the energy requirement of his muscles as he cycles continuously. Through anaerobic respiration, pyruvate from glycolysis is converted to lactate by lactate dehydrogenase instead of being channelled to the mitochondria for oxidative phosphorylation. The accumulation of lactate in his muscles is what causes the pain in his leg. After he stops the activity, the pain would reduce as lactate is transported to the liver to be reconverted back into pyruvate.
