Answer:
oxygen
Explanation:
Without oxygen aerobic respiration cannot occur. Therefore ATP is produces by anaerobic reparation which is from glycolysis only. Lactate/ lactic acid is formed when glycolysis is the only production of ATP.
The body's first line of defense is actually the non-specific immune system which is also called innate immunity.
Innate immunity employs both physical and chemical barriers that form the first line of defense. These include:
1. The intact skin. The skin is made up of keratin in its outermost layer. Keratin makes skin tough and resistant and pathogens usually cannot penetrate unless the skin is broken.
2. The mucus membrane. This is a thin membrane that forms a protective lining inside many organs and other parts of the body such as the trachea. Mucus produced by the membrane traps bacteria and other harmful particle which are then expelled from the body.
3. Tears. Tears from our eyes contain lysozyme, a chemical that kills bacteria.
If the pathogen gets through or evades these types of defenses, then it is dealt with by the second line of defense which is called specific immunity or acquired immunity. It is here that white blood cells namely the B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes attack, kill or neutralize pathogens.
