Q)Muscles cannot respire anaerobically
True
False
Q)The toxic substance in clinical thermometer is mercury
True
False
Answers
1.True
Yes, anaerobic respiration occurs in the human body also. During strenuous activities, body needs more energy but cannot get enough oxygen. Thus, anaerobic respiration occurs in the muscle cells to provide additional energy.
let's have some detail concept
Anaerobic Respiration:-
The respiration that takes place in the absence of oxygen is anaerobic respiration. In this process, incomplete oxidation of food material is being and produces carbon dioxide and alcohol. Beside this other organic matter like citric acid, oxalic acid, lactic acid, etc are also produced.
This process is also known as intramolecular Respiration. The anaerobic respiration takes place in organisms like yeast, some bacteria, and parasitic worms. The animals and plants that can survive and obtain energy even in the absence of oxygen are called Anaerobic.
2.True
let's talk about it in detail:-
Mercury is the only one in liquid state at room temperature. It's used in thermometers because it has high coefficient of expansion. Hence, the slightest change in temperature is notable when it's used in a thermometer. It also has a high boiling point which makes it very suitable to measure higher temperatures.
