Answer:

==> As a response to starvation.

==> shortage of glucose supply.

Explanation:

Ketones bodies are chemical substances with the RC(=O)R' functional group and they are produced in the body. There are two main reasons behind the production of ketone bodies.

The first reason is because of response to starvation; ketones are synthesized in the body of human beings and are produced when someone has insufficient food in his body. This response is when the person does not have diabetes.

The second reason is because of the shortage in glucose content of the body. The glucose in the body gives energy and when glucose is in shortage, ketone bodies can be used to replace the glucose.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]


The most accurate answer is release water vapor.

Stomata are special pores in plants  found typically on the outer leaf skin layer called the epidermis. They consist of two specialized cells called guard cells that surround a tiny pore called a stoma.

Their main function is to allow water vapor and gases such as carbon dioxide and oxygen to move rapidly in and out of the leaf.

The word stomata means mouth in Greek because they allow communication between the  internal and external environments of the plant.
