The statement 'a buildup of lactic acid in the muscle tissue due to fermentation' describes a metabolic consequence of a shortage of oxygen in muscle cells (Option C).

Aerobic cells normally produce energy by cellular respiration.Cellular respiration is a process by which aerobic cells produce energy in the form of ATP by using the energy stored in the bonds of foods (e.g., glucose) and oxygen.Acid lactic fermentation is a process by which muscle cells can produce ATP in anaerobic conditions.This process (acid lactic fermentation) is less efficient than cellular respiration in terms of production of ATP per molecule of glucose, but it is faster.

In conclusion, the statement 'a buildup of lactic acid in the muscle tissue due to fermentation' describes a metabolic consequence of a shortage of oxygen in muscle cells (Option C).

Answer from: addisonrausch

The correct answer is - C) a buildup of lactic acid in the muscle tissue due to fermentation.

Explanation:

In absence of enough oxygen for the muscle cells to perform the aerobic pathway to breakdown pyruvate for energy, the body starts producing lactic acid to convert glucose into energy.

This process is known as fermentation which can produce lactic acid and build it in muscle cells. There are some negative effects of fermentation and buildup of lactic acid in muscle cells such as cramps, pain, and fatigue in the muscles.

1) gene flow

- it is described as the transfer of genes from one population to another population so that frequency of gene is increased.

-a zebra migrates to join a different herd of zebras.

2) natural selection

- a mechanism of evolutionary change in which individuals with advantageous traits survive and reproduce whereas the others ( those that can not adapt) eliminate from the population.

-competition for sunlight leads to taller trees.

3) mutation

- permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of dna ( genetic material) that could have harmful or useful consequences.

-the dna of a snake changes to make its venom stronger.

4) genetic drift - it is a random phenomenon ( that occurs by chance such as fire) that results in change in the gene frequency in a small population.

-a grassfire randomly sweeps through a population of buffalo and kills most of the animals.
