Biology
1 answer:
Natalka [10]3 years ago
7 0
Answer: all of them
The rib cage is formed by 24 ribs (12 pairs). Their function is to protect the lungs, heart, and other internal organs of the thorax. They also enable the lungs to expand, facilitating breathing by expanding the chest cavity.
From those 12 pairs, 7 pairs are "true ribs" directly attached to the sternum and the rest are called "false ribs" because some are suspended or share cartilage that connects to sternum.

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Under anaerobic condition pyruvate is converted into lactate.

Explanation:

Human muscles use both anaerobic and aerobic respiration for the production of ATP. During the starting of intense activity, the oxygen supply is not enough to provide instant energy to the muscle, therefore, muscles use anaerobic respiration to generate ATP.

During anaerobic respiration, muscle do not use oxygen to burn glucose. During anaerobic respiration in muscles, the glucose is converted into pyruvate and then this pyruvate gets convert into lactate and this process is called lactic acid fermentation. In this process, 2 ATP are produced.
