Q

When does the lactic acid build up in the muscles?

A

Lactic acid build up generally occurs during anaerobic training, or through extended periods of aerobic training, when the muscles are being worked at such an intensity that the demand for oxygen eventually cannot be met, culminating in an excess of lactic acid. Insufficient oxygen is reaching the muscles.

What is DNA back bone made of?
Sugar and phosphate groups
37
The double helix of DNA is composed of building blocks called
Nucleotides
