Answer:

Carbohydrates may be defined as the polymers of the sugar molecules. These sugar molecules are linked together through the glyosidic linage and small molecules are released during the reaction.

The starch and glycogen are the carbohydrates that sugar molecules (glucose) linked by the glycosidic bond. The starch and glycogen are used for the excess storage of sugar molecules in the body. They plays an  storage form of energy in case of plants and animals.

<span>The question is asking us to choose the true statement among: ? Girls get most of their traits from their moms; boys get most of their traits from their dads. - this is not true, most traits are inherited from both parents Male offspring will always have an X-linked genetic disease if the mom is a carrier. - this is not true, as they can inherit the non-affected gene Fathers always determine the gender of the offspring in humans. - this is true! some spermcells carry the Y and some the X genes that determine the gender Males never have Y chromosomes. - this is false, males always do!</span>

Energy Metabolism Pathways Carbohydrate metabolism is responsible for the formation, breakdown, and interconversion of carbohydr
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

The glucose conversion to PYRUVATE opens anaerobic and aerobic metabolic pathways. VITAMIN B NIACIN in its role as a coenzyme during glycolysis, escorts hydrogen and electrons to the electron transport chain and the TCA cycle. In the Cori cycle, the release of energy from ATP converts lactate to glucose and returns the glucose molecule to the muscles through the process of Anaerobic Glycolysis.

Explanation:

In metabolism, glycolysis is defined as the splitting of the glucose molecule to form two molecules of pyruvic acid. It is the first main metabolic pathway in cellular respiration for the production of energy in form of ATP(Adenosine triphosphate).

In most cells, cellular respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen. This is known as AEROBIC RESPIRATION which produces the largest number of ATP. Energy can also be gotten by breaking down of glucose in the complete absence of oxygen. This is known as ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION.

The next stage in the degradation of glucose is a two step conversion of the two pyruvic acid molecules from glycolysis into two molecules of acetyl coenzyme A( acetyl - CoA). This occurs in the TCA( tricarboxylic acid) or Krebs cycle.

VITAMIN B NIACIN in its role as a coenzyme during glycolysis, escorts hydrogen and electrons to the electron transport chain and the TCA cycle. Coenzyme A is a derivative of vitamin B which combines with pyruvic acid to form acetyl CoA , 2 molecules of carbon dioxide and 4 molecules of hydrogen in TCA cycle.

In Cori Cycle, (which is also called Lactic acid cycle), energy released from ATP is used to convert lactate to glucose. This is to prevent increased lactic acid in the blood during anaerobic conditions in the muscles.

22) moves using an undulating membrane connected to a flagellum
Marrrta [24]

The answer is “Trypanosoma”. The word “Trypanosoma” comes from the Greek words trypanon and soma, which means auger and body, or auger body. A Trypanosoma moves through an undulating membrane connected to a flagellum. Trypanosoma comes from a genus of kinetoplastids, it is known to be a monophyletic cluster of single-celled parasitic flagellate protozoa.

Explain why malaria is still a problem even when we know of ways to control it.
Nataly_w [17]
We can control it. It's just that our world "leaders" seem to use use money and drugs for other things. It cost money to even make money, yet, people don't want to spend it.
