Answer:

The cell membrane is semi-permeable. (or selectively permeable). The unique structure of the cell membrane allows small substances (like oxygen or carbon dioxide) to easily pass through.

Explanation:

The principal components of the plasma membrane are lipids (phospholipids and cholesterol), proteins, and carbohydrate groups that are attached to some of the lipids and proteins. A phospholipid is a lipid made of glycerol, two fatty acid tails, and a phosphate-linked head group.

During gym class, Raul walks briskly for a half hour. Jenna decides to sprint and run the bleachers for the same amount of time.

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The correct answer would be Jenna’s cells are producing more lactic acid than Raul’s cells.

Workouts like sprints, bleachers, weight training et cetera come under the anaerobic zone of training.

They cause lack of oxygen in the muscles due to which muscles undergo lactic acid fermentation to produce energy (ATP).

Lactic acid fermentation converts one molecule of glucose into 2 molecules of lactic acid with a net gain of 2 ATP (as compared to 36-38 ATP produced in aerobic respiration).

Decreased efficiency in energy production leads to the utilization of more and more glucose or glycogen reserves of the muscles and lead to the accumulation of more and more lactic acid.
