as been denoted something peculiarly human". Why do you think some scientists object to using the term "culture" to describe primate behaviour?

Scientists are reluctant to use the word culture to refer to primate behavior because it has not been determined if this behavior can be classified as human or is human-like.

<h3>What is culture?</h3>

Culture is a word to describe the beliefs, practices, etc. of human groups. Due to this, culture is often used in areas such as sociology but not in biology as most scientists believe this term is used exclusively for human groups.

<h3>Why are scientists reluctant to use this term?</h3>

Scientists' research has determined some organisms such as primates display very similar behaviors to humans. Despite this, some scientists do not feel it is accurate to describe these behaviors as culture.

This occurs because:

  • There are biological and behavioral differences between these primates and humans.
  • Culture has been traditionally used to describe human communities not other animals communities.
  • Using culture might imply other primates are equal to humans.

Note: This question is incomplete because the article is not given; due to this, I answered it based on general knowledge.

After strenuous exercise sore muscles can occur because of?
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. A buildup of lactic acid in the tissues.

Sore muscles after vigorous exercise are the result of lactic acid accumulation in the muscles.

Vigorous exercise reduces the levels of oxygen available in the muscles due to which complete oxidation of the glucose could not take place.

Muscle cells switch to another process called as lactic acid fermentation to produce energy. In this process, lactate dehydrogenase converts pyruvate into lactate and reduces NADH to NAD⁺.

This NAD⁺ enables the continuation of glycolysis which results in the production of net 2 ATP.

In addition, influx of materials such as nutrients, WBC, anti-inflammatory compounds etc into the muscle cell (for repair) causes swelling of the muscle fibers which is also the reason for the muscle soreness.
