Answer:
This can be explained based on structure, and on metabolisms of carbohydrate.
Explanation:
Carbohydrate has a relatively simple structural composition than the either protein or fatty acids. The C, H and Oxygen molecules are of relatively fewer in number and few chains than fats and protein.Thus cells will spend less energy to break bonds(catabolisims) among these molecules during cellular respiration pathways to trap the energy.
In addition glucose the end products of carbohydrate did not need any processing before it enters glycolysis, Kreb's Cycle and oxidative phosphorylation pathways to generate energy for the cells.
Conversely, for protein to be used it has to be first deaminated(removal of amino acid) by the liver before it enters glycolysis,while fats needs to be broken down and undergo beta oxidation with the long chains removed before it can form acetyl CoA. Therefore cells will prefer few steps, less endergonic pathways of glucose than longer more endergonic amino acids and fatty acid pathways.
Furthermore, glucose can be used in cellular respiration to produce energy either aerobically or anaerobically, while fats can only be used anaerobically. Therefore, since cells usually prefer to thrive in aerobic conditions they breakdown glucose easily during this period, and when lack of oxygen occurs they switched to anaerobic, Thus, the versatility of glucose to oxygen concentration makes glucose a better choice. Besides if fats was used anaerobically, ketone bodies build up which may be toxic to the cells.
Answer: Family, Social and Neglect
Explanation:
Family Risk Factors: Family risk factors include childhood maltreatment in which the parent child relationship, marital status of parents, level of understanding among the family members also influences the abuse of alcohol and drug abuse.
Social Risk Factors: The society in which the person or child is living also influences the drug, tobacco and alcohol abuse. A teenage easily gets influenced by the society and place where they are living.
Neglect: If a person feels neglected emotionally by the partners or parents then there is an increased chance of alcohol or drug abuse. If the important necessities of life such as education, clothes, food is fulfilled by the guardians then also there are chances that a person might get towards alcohol and drug abuse.
Answer:
C. At least five mass-extinction events have occurred during the last 500 million years.
Explanation:
- The history of mass extinct is related to the five mass extinctions that are caused over by the 350 million years n which many species have disappeared in there short geologic time.
- A massive extinction is caused in the Permian Triassic extinction event i.e about 250 mn years ago which on an estimate has killed 90% of the species.
- The Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event that occurred over 66 million years ago is known to have wiped out the dinosaurs and many other species.
