प्रश्न
Lack of oxygen in muscles often leads to cramps in the legs of sprinters. This is due to the conversion of pyruvate to:
पर्याय
Ethanol
Carbon dioxide
Acetic acid
Lactic acid
उत्तर
Lactic acid
Lack of oxygen in muscles causes the accumulation of lactic acid, due to anaerobic respiration. Accumulation of lactic acid leads to cramps in the legs of sprinters.

The Figure shown below represents an activity to prove the requirements for photosynthesis. During this activity, two healthy potted plants were kept in the dark for 72 hours. After 72 hours, KOH is kept in the watch glass in setup X and not in setup Y. Both these setups are air tight and have been kept in light for 6 hours. Then, Iodine Test is performed with one leaf from each of the two plants X and Y.
The function of KOH is to absorb ______.
Which of the following statement(s) is (are) true about respiration?
- During inhalation, ribs move inward and the diaphragm is raised
- In the alveoli, exchange of gases takes place i.e., oxygen from alveolar air diffuses into blood and carbon dioxide from the blood into the alveolar air
- Haemoglobin has a greater affinity for carbon dioxide than oxygen
- Alveoli increase surface area for the exchange of gases
