Brains requires energy for functioning various functions of the body and the primary source of energy of the brain is glucose.

Brain is the one of the largest organ of the body and brain weight of an adult male is 1336 gr and for the adult female is 1198 gr.

Therefore, primary energy source of the brain is glucose. Thus, option d is correct.

Answer:

The correct answer is option - C amino acids.

Explanation:

The blood brain barrier or BBB is border that separates extracellular fluid in the central nervous system (CNS) and the blood that is circulating from the brain.

This barrier is allows the passage by facilitate diffusion (passive diffusion) and through the selective proteins of molecules such as glucose, amino acids that are essential for the neural function.

Thus, the correct answer is - amino acids.

How are viruses different from bacteria? APEX

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Bacteria are unicellular microorganisms that can be found everywhere in the environment. Viruses are microorganisms that can only reproduce within the cells of a host organism.

The differences between viruses and bacteria include;

Viruses do not have any cell and are considered between living and non-living things, while bacteria have one cell (Unicellular) and are living organisms.
Viruses are smaller in size (20-400 nm) when compared with bacteria (1000 nm).
Viruses do not have a cell wall but a protein coat is present, while bacteria have a cell wall that is composed of peptidoglycan.
Viruses require a living cell to reproduce, while bacteria can reproduce by itself.
The DNA or RNA of viruses is enclosed inside a coat of protein, while that of bacteria floats freely in the cytoplasm within the cell.

Answer:

Explanation:

Transcription and translation The information stored in a gene's DNA is transferred to a similar molecule called RNA (ribonucleic acid) in the cell nucleus during the transcription process. During protein synthesis, translation is the process of converting the sequence of a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule to a sequence of amino acids. The genetic code describes the relationship between the base pair sequence in a gene and the amino acid sequence that it encodes.
