Question

Give reason-
Lactic acid accumulates in muscles.
Mountaineers carry oxygen

Answer 1

• During intense exercise, there may not be enough oxygen available to complete the process, so a substance called lactate is made. Your body can convert this lactate to energy without using oxygen. But this lactate or lactic acid can build up in your bloodstream faster than you can burn it off
• Mountaineers carry oxygen cylinders while going to high mountain peaks because altitude increases as they climb the mountain. The amount of oxygen decreases as the altitude increases. The reason for the decrease in the amount of oxygen gas is because trees are not found in high altitudes.
