Suppose that an adult black bear adds 50 pounds of fat in order to survive while hibernating through the winter. how much glycog

NemiM [27]

Answer: The correct answer would be 112.5 pounds

Explanation:

Let us first covert the pound into grams. We know that 1 pound is equal to 453.59 grams.

Thus, 50 pound of fat = 50 x 453.59 = 22,679.5 grams.

We know that, 1 gram of fat releases 9 Kcal of energy. Thus, total energy produced by 22679.5 grams = 9 x 22679.5 = 204,115.5 Kcal

Glycogen is carbohydrate thus, it will produce 4 Kcal of energy per gram.

Thus, 4 x C = 204,115.5 (where C is the grams of glycogen)

⇒ C = $\frac{204115.5}{4}$

⇒ C = 51,028.875 grams

Using 1 pound = 453.59 grams, we con convert 51,028.875 grams into pounds:

453.59 = 1

1 = $\frac{1}{453.59}$

51,028.875 = $\frac{1}{453.59} x 51028.875$

= 112.5 pounds

Thus, 112.5 pound of glycogen would be needed to produce the same amount of energy as produced by 50 pounds of fat.

The epidermis is the most superficial layer of the skin. It is composed of stratified squamous epithelium. Within the epidermis,

son4ous [18]

Answer:

a. Stratum corneum 5. : Thick superficial layer of flat, keratinized, dead cells; responsible for dandruff.

b. Stratum granulosum 3.: Cells flatten and fill with keratin, resulting in a grainy appearance.

c. Stratum lucidum 4. : Clear layer found only in thick skin; cells full of keratin.

d. Stratum basale 1. : Deepest layer; site of rapid cell division and melanin production.

e. Stratum spinosum 2.: Live keratinocytes connected by desmosomes produce pre-keratin

Explanation:

The epidermis has five layers, starting from the deepest one they are:

The stratum basale: is the layer that has the germinative cells, called keratinocytes.

The stratum spinosum: the keratinocytes are connected, and they produce the precursor of keratin and lipids.

The stratum granulosum: the name of this stratum is due to the appearance of the cells. They produce keratohyalin, and the lipids produced in the previous layer are released, creating the layer that protects the skin against dehydration.

The stratum lucidum: They are only in thick skin, like the one that is in the sole of our feet. The cells do not have a nucleus. They are filled with keratin, which is the component of thick skin.

The stratum corneum: the more superficial layer, it is made of dead cells filled with keratine. When new cells ascend to this stratum, the old ones have to be removed by exfoliation or natural peeling.
