Question

Name the end products of anaerobic metabolism in muscles cells.
A. Mitochondria
B. Cytoplasm
C. Pyruvate
D. Lactic acid
E. Glucose

Answer 1

In some types of muscle tissue there is a certain type of cell found and they are known as myocytes or muscle cells. Myocytes evolve from the myoblast and it starts the formation of muscle and this process is known as myogenesis.

Complete answer:
Let’s discuss the question and find the correct answer.
-Mitochondria: They take nutrients and break it down to form the energy-rich molecule of the cell and because of this process, it is also known as the digestive system of the cell. It respires oxygen at the time of purchase breakdown and ATP formation and gives water and carbon dioxide as their end products.

-Cytoplasm: The cytoplasm is a fluid that fills up the cell and is surrounded by the cell membrane. It mainly consists of water, salt and protein. The cytoplasm is all the materials that are present within a cell but except the nucleus.

-Pyruvate: In the anaerobic process of muscle cells the pyruvate is reduced to lactate. It is produced by glucose.

-Lactic acid: The muscle cell performs healthy activities and there is not sufficient supply of oxygen and then the cell carries out the anaerobic type of respiration. In the process of glycolysis, the glucose is converted into pyruvate which is a 3 carbon compound. When there is not sufficient oxygen in muscles the pyruvate is converted into lactic acid.

-Glucose: The muscles play an important role in the maintenance of blood sugar levels. The muscles can take glucose from the blood which results in the reduction of blood sugar level.
Hence, the correct answer is D.

Note: Anaerobic respiration takes place when there is not sufficient oxygen is present. Ethanol and ATP molecules are also the end products of anaerobic respiration.
