When a muscle is stimulated to contract aerobically, less lactic acid is formed than when it contracts anaerobically because:___
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

5. under aerobic conditions most of the pyruvate generated as a result of glycolysis is oxidized by the citric acid cycle rather than reduced to lactate.

Explanation:

The contraction of muscles occurs in the presence of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) because ATP supplies the muscles with the energy they require for contraction.

Muscles can undergo contraction Aerobically ( in the presence of oxygen) or Anaerobically ( in the absence of oxygen).

When a muscle is stimulated to contract aerobically, less lactic acid is formed than when it contracts anaerobically because under aerobic conditions most of the pyruvate generated as a result of glycolysis is oxidized by the citric acid cycle rather than reduced to lactate.

The plant still has a functional allele provided by the paternal gamete, thereby the leaves have this enzyme required for chlorophyll biosynthesis. In consequence, the plant can produce chlorophyll pigment but in less quantity, since it has only a functional allele coding for a key enzyme involved in the chlorophyll pathway

A community lives in the desert near an area with high winds. There is very little rainfall or clouds, and no large rivers nearb
amid [387]

Solar power would, without doubt, be the most efficient type of power plant to build in this specific location. This is due to the fact that solar power produces no pollution in an environment. Also this type of alternative energy fits this communities resources due to the fact that the community receives primarily sun , a huge component in solar power, and little cloud coverage only increases the sun's power that much more. On the other hand, biomass needs things like wood, crops and alcohol fuels to burn in order to produce energy, some of which are not viable in this type of community because a place with little to no irrigation sources and an abundant amount of sunlight would be hard to produce any kind of natural aspect. Lastly, hydroelectric energy would not be a efficient of even viable choice because this community has no natural water available at hand to use for this alternative energy to function, and hydroelectric works primarily on a water storage.
