Of the total amount of glucose energy consumed by the body each day, about 20% is used by the brain and nerve cells.

The brain constitutes about 2% of the total body but it is one of the main consumers of energy derived from glucose.

The energy provided by glucose is used for the proper functioning of the brain. It generates ATP which is an energy source that is responsible for r neuronal and non-neuronal cellular maintenance and generates neurotransmitters.

Thus glucose-derived energy is critical for the health of the brain. Lack of energy can cause several brain diseases.

Breeding programs and habitat preserves have been established as an effort to protect the florida panther from extinction. studi
Inessa05 [86]
The answer is ‘panthers will become extinct due to the lack of genetic diversity’. The population will enter what is referred to an extinction vortex. This is when environmental, demographic and genetic factors interact and reinforce each other in a downward spiral of a species. The lack of genetic diversity in the population causes inbreeding and lack of diversity on which natural selection can act upon for the population to adapt.

Please help!!!<br><br> What are 4 different protists and what makes them special
Alex

Answer:

Amoebalike protists, flagellates, ciliates, and spore-forming protists.

Explanation:

Protists are eukaryotes, which means their cells have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Most, but not all, protists are single-celled. Other than these features, they have very little in common. You can think about protists as all eukaryotic organisms that are neither animals, nor plants, nor fungi.

Hope this helps
