Although lipids hold the majority of the body's energy reserves, glycogen is the body's primary energy source.

Glucose is a polymer that makes up glycogen. Our body's primary source of energy is carbs. The remaining glucose in the body is turned into glycogen and stored in various places, but the majority of our body's energy reserves are found in fats, which are kept in the form of lipids.

Where does the energy come from in the muscles?

The chemical energy that is stored in our meals is used by muscles to produce heat and motion energy (kinetic energy). Energy is necessary for maintaining body temperature, promoting physical activity, and enabling tissue growth and repair. Foods high in protein, fat, and carbohydrates provide energy.

What Takes Place to Muscles in the Absence of Glucose?

Your body converts carbs, such as those found in bread or fruit, into glucose after consumption. Glycogen is the form of glucose that is stored in your muscles and liver and is used for energy when you are not eating or while you are exercising.

Predidt the direction and the relative value of the dipole moment of the following bond: C-Cl
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

D. C → Cl electronegativity difference > 0.5

Explanation:

The electro negativity of an atom in a compound refers to its ability to attract the electrons of a bond towards itself.

On the Pauling's scale, carbon has an electro negativity value of 2.55 while that of chlorine is 3.16. The difference in electro negativity between the both atoms is about 0.61.

The dipole is aslways directed towards the more electronegative atom. Hence the direction is ; C → Cl

What cause the ratio of PV/RT to drop below 1 when 1 mole of
pentagon [3]

Answer:

pressure and temperature are directly proportional.

Explanation:

At constant temperature and pressure the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas. Also given a constant temperature and volume the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas.

This means that if V is constant then

P = n (RT/V) then n= PV/RT. As P is increased, T is also increased thereby decreasing the value of n since pressure and temperature are directly proportional.
