When a muscle is stimulated to contract aerobically, less lactic acid is formed than when it contracts anaerobically because:. 1. glycolysis does not occur to significant extent under aerobic conditions. 2. muscle is metabolically less active under aerobic than anaerobic conditions. 3. the lactic acid generated is rapidly incorporated into lipids under aerobic conditions. 4. under aerobic conditions in muscle, the major energy-yielding pathway is the pentose phosphate pathway, which does not produce lactate. 5. under aerobic conditions most of the pyruvate generated as a result of glycolysis is oxidized by the citric acid cycle rather than reduced to lactate.

The branch of science which deals with a living being is called biology.

The correct answer is E.

The process of breakdown of the glucose molecule into pyruvic acid is called glycolysis. The process of glycolysis is done under the aerobic reaction. The reaction which took place in presence of air is called aerobic reaction.

In this process, Glucose is completely digested into carbon dioxide, water, and energy. Hence, the lactic acid is not formed.

The lactic acid is formed due to a lack of oxygen and leads to incomplete oxidation.

Hence, the correct answer is E that is under aerobic conditions most of the pyruvate generated as a result of glycolysis is oxidized by the citric acid cycle rather than reduced to lactate.

5. under aerobic conditions most of the pyruvate generated as a result of glycolysis is oxidized by the citric acid cycle rather than reduced to lactate.

Explanation:

The contraction of muscles occurs in the presence of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) because ATP supplies the muscles with the energy they require for contraction.

Muscles can undergo contraction Aerobically ( in the presence of oxygen) or Anaerobically ( in the absence of oxygen).

When a muscle is stimulated to contract aerobically, less lactic acid is formed than when it contracts anaerobically because under aerobic conditions most of the pyruvate generated as a result of glycolysis is oxidized by the citric acid cycle rather than reduced to lactate.

the correct answer should be false
