What compound can be made from glucose and serves as long term energy storage?

Biology
1 answer:
Solnce55 [7]4 years ago
6 0

Ans. Glycogen.

The glucose is primary fuel for the all body activities, but it acts as short term energy storage compound. The glucose is converted into long-term energy storage compound, glycogen. This process is known as glycogenesis and occurs in liver cells mainly.

The glycogen is stored in liver cells and skeletal muscle cells, which is converted into glucose for  energy production, when required.

Thus, the correct answer is 'glycogen.'

Cell walls in plant cells provide support and structure for the cell, allowing plants to 'stand up' without a skeleton. What are
natta225 [31]

Answer:

Cellulose

Explanation:

Cell walls made of cellulose are only found around plant cells and a few other organisms. Cellulose is a specialized sugar that is classified as a structural carbohydrate and not used for energy. ... While cell walls protect the cells, they also allow plants to grow to great heights. You have a skeleton to hold you up.

What happens to the composition of the rock during physical weathering? Give an example.
Nutka1998 [239]
Physical Weathering in Nature. When water in a river or stream moves quickly, it can lift up rocks from the bottom of that body of water. When the rocks drop back down they bump into other rocks, and tiny pieces of the rocks can break apart. Many rock surfaces have small crevices on them.

Ex: Unloading.

In active transport, molecules can be moved against their concentration gradient, what is required for this
babymother [125]

Answer:

Energy (in the form of ATP)

Explanation:

The main difference between active transport and passive transport is that active transport needs the energy to work. Active transport also moves molecules against the concentration gradient, kinda like a pump. This pump will need energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to keep it working. Adenosine triphosphate will be broken down into adenosine diphosphate (ADP). The energy from the breakdown reaction will be used by the pump.

What is negative feedback, and how does this process help to keep values (like body temperature) constant or within a small rang
const2013 [10]

Answer:

Negative feedback mechanism may be defined as the system of the body in which the final output reduces the process and result in the less output. Negative feedback mechanism is important for the regulation of homeostasis.

The negative feedback mechanism maintains the constant body temperature. The change in body temperature is sensed by the receptors. The low body temperature initiates the hypothalamus to increase the physiological process.    The blood vessels narrow, body start shivers and hormone stimulation increases body temperature. When the body temperature become normal, the hypothalamus will no longer be stimulated and stop its effect.

During translation, what sets up the open reading frame in mRNA? What will it correspond to in DNA?
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

During the process of translation, the codon UAC sets up the open  reading frame in the mRNA (messenger Ribonucleic acid). The codon UAC corresponds to ATG in the DNA. It codes for the amino acid methionine.

Explanation:

The determination of the open reading frame is important in the process of translation and protein formation. The start and stop codons determine the open reading frame. In DNA (deoxyribonucleic Acid), there are typically six reading frames. The correct frame is determined and the translation is started.

The ATG codon in the DNA sets the reading frame in most of the eukaryotes. Different frames can be started by beginning with either 'A', 'T', or 'G'.
