Answer:
Providing energy and regulation of blood glucose.
Sparing the use of proteins for energy.
Breakdown of fatty acids and preventing ketosis.
Explanation:
The main function of carbohydrates is to provide energy and regulation of glucose in the blood. It prevent the use of proteins for production of energy and also promote breakdown of fatty acids and preventing ketosis. Ketosis is a process that occurs when our body doesn't have carbohydrates in sufficient quantity for the production of energy. Carbohydrates are the first biomolecules that are used for energy production.
First, let calculate the volume of the rod shaped-bacteria:
S = length of the bacteria * surface of its side = 4.1 * (0.45 *0.45 * 3.14) = 2.6 µm3
Now, let's convert the moles into molecules (with Avogadro's law):
0.0037mol/L = 0.0037 * 6.023 *10^23 = 2.22 *10^21 molecules / L
Now let's convert The volume and the concetrnation into µm3 (molecules / µm3)
1 L = 1 dm3 = 1000 cm3 = 1000000 mm3 = 10^9 µm3
so 2.22 *10^21 molecules / L = 2.22 10^ 12 molecules / µm3
The answer is 2.22 10^ 12 molecules / µm3
Answer:
The microorganism creates its own energy.
Explanation:
Based on the pattern of nutrition, a living organism can either be autotrophic or heterotrophic. Autotrophic organisms are those organisms capable of synthesizing its own food or energy source using light (photosynthesis) or chemicals (chemosynthesis). Heterotrophs, on the other hand, cannot synthesize their own food, hence, they depend on other organisms for energy.
According to this question, a researcher claims that a newly discovered microorganism is an autotroph. For this claim to be true, this means that the microorganism must be capable of CREATING ITS OWN FOOD/ENERGY either by photosynthesis (light) or chemosynthesis (inorganic chemicals).
Answer:
The given blanks can be filled with white pulp and red pulp.
Explanation:
In the lymphatic system, the spleen is considered as the largest organ. It is situated in the upper left part of the abdominal cavity, the main function of the spleen is to filter blood containing the destructed cells, pathogens like viruses and bacteria, and cellular debris.
The spleen generates and develops the mature immune cells, which possess the tendency of finding and eliminating the pathogens. The white pulp of the spleen comprises the immune cells, that is, the B and T lymphocytes, which help in fighting against the pathogens.
On the other hand, the red pulp of the spleen comprises connective tissue called the cords of Billroth, and various splenic sinusoids, which are filled with blood, providing it a red appearance. Its main function is to filter the blood containing microbes, pathogens, and worn-out or the defective RBCs.
The answer is A. The ratio goes down as the size of the cell gets larger.
