They store energy for the body cells with the difference that carbohydrates give the cells short-term energy while lipids give them long-term energy, meaning it takes more time for that energy to be lost
The region which is directly medial to the hypochondriac regions of the body is the epigastric region. It is the upper central part of the abdomen, found in between the subcostal plane and the costal margins. This region is part of the nine regions found in the abdomen. The organs included in this region are the pancreas, liver and the stomach. Also, the adrenal gland, a part of the small intestine, the duodenum is also included. This region is not an organ or a muscle rather it is an area of activity wherein the diaphragm and the rectus abdominus would make an outward bulging of the abdominal wall especially the upper portion.
Answer:
The correct answer is option b. "Guppy color patterns would change; guppies would produce fewer but larger offspring; the nitrogen excretion rate would increase and the rate of growth of primary producers such as algae would increase".
Explanation:
The Trinidadian guppy is a species of fish with the scientific name <em>Poecilia reticulata</em>. Just like almost all species, its population is regulated for multiple factors, one of them being the presence of predators. The removal of Trinidadian guppy predators would result in multiple consequences:
- Guppy color patterns would change. The fish have a complex coloration determined largely by predation avoidance.
- Guppies would produce fewer but larger offspring. This adaptation has been proved in an experiment at which the fish was introduced one a low predation environment. The report proved that evolution can take place in less than 10 years.
- The nitrogen excretion rate would increase. It has been reported that predation reduce Trinidadian guppy nitrogen excretion by 40%. Removing the predators will case the nitrogen excretion rate to increase due to an increase in the fish food intake.
- The rate of growth of primary producers such as algae would increase. This is an effect of the increase of nitrogen excretion rate, which benefits algae population to growth.
Answer: Propionly CoA
Explanation:
During oxidation of odd chain fatty acids, the odd chain are oxidized exactly in the same manner as even chains. However, after successive removal of 2 carbon units, at the end, one 3-carbon unit, propionyl CoA is formed.
Propionyl CoA is a product of beta oxidation of odd chain fatty acids.
In three steps reaction propionyl-CoA can be converted to succinyl-CoA, an intermediate of the citric acid cycle which is converted to oxaloacetate, and is used for gluconeogenesis.
