Inadequate carbohydrate intake results in the breakdown of body protein for use as fuel. true or false

Biology
1 answer:
SOVA2 [1]3 years ago
4 0
The statement is true.
Carbohydrates are broken down in order to obtain glucose for respiration in cells. When there is an inadequate amount of carbohydrates, other macromolecules must be broken down. Excessive breakdown of fats is not possible due to the fact that it causes ketosis; therefore, proteins are broken down and the body starts to lose muscle mass.

The stages of mitosis were originally defined by cellular features observable through a light microscope.
Brrunno [24]

Answer: TRUE

Explanation:

The cell division that takes place during the growth and development of an organism is in an as MITOSIS. Mitosis takes place in somatic cells that is, body cells that are not involved in the production of gametes. The difference stages of mitosis were originally defined by cellular features observable through a LIGHT MICROSCOPE. These stages includes:

--> PROPHASE: when viewed under a light microscope, each chromosome shortens and thickens and is seen to consist of two chromatids. The Centriole begin to separate.

--> METAPHASE: The nuclear membrane disappears, a spindle forms, the chromosomes line up across the middle of the cell and become attached to the spindle fibres at their centromeres.

--> ANAPHASE: The sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite ends of cell as the spindle fibres contract.

--> TELOPHASE: A nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromatids, and the cell divides into two daughter cells.

What is the main difference between bacteria and humans that gives Sulfa drugs their antibacterial properties? Group of answer c
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Human cells can readily absorb folic acid; bacteria cells cannot.

Explanation:

Bacterial cells cannot absorb folic acid and synthesize it. On the other hand, humans do not synthesize folic acid in their cells. They rather obtain it from the diet. Sulfa drugs, for example, sulfanilamide resemble p-aminobenzoate (PABA). PABA is a molecule that is used as a substrate in the synthesis of the coenzyme folic acid. The sulfa drugs serve as competitive inhibitors and compete with PABA for the catalytic site of an enzyme involved in the folic acid synthesis. This prevents the synthesis of folic acid in bacterial cells and thereby, inhibits bacterial growth.

The Greatest salt lake in Utah has a saline content that can be up to ten times greater than the ocean. It is fed by three fresh
Vesnalui [34]

The tributaries carry small amounts of salt into the lake

<u>Explanation</u>:

The Greatest salt lake is one of the most saline inland water body in the world.The water carried to this lake by the tributaries is very less as compared to the amount  of the salt present in the lake. Rest part of the salt remains in the lake as such.

When the water from the lake gets evaporated, it leaves behind the salt. When time passes by, or years of inflow and evaporation salts they gets deposited layer over layer. The amount of salt added leads to formation of new minerals on the sea floor.
