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.'

The enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) is inherited as a recessive gene on the X chromosome in humans. A
babunello [35]

Answer:

1/2 , no difference to the fraction of the sons

Explanation:

Since the disorder is inherited recessive gene on the X. The woman will be a carrier since her father had G6PD. Therefore her genotype is X Xh

The normal man genotype will be XY

The genotype of their offspring will be

  • Daughters XX, XXh
  • Sons   XY, XhY

Therefore 1 out of the 2 sons(1/2) will have the disorder

If the father had the disorder, it will not change the fraction of the sons  because the disorder is on the X chromosome. However one of the daughters will have it XhXh

Where should the biosphere label appear in the systems model? Use reasoning to explain your answer.
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Explanation:

Biosphere is the portions/regions of the earth (including land, sea and atmosphere) where living organisms exist. From the picture attached, it can be seen that there are living organisms in the hydrosphere (fishes), geosphere (plants) and anthrosphere (human).  The entire system should have been labelled biosphere and not atmosphere.

NOTE: Atmosphere is an empty air space surrounding/around the earth (or other celestial body).
