Answer:  fat

Explanation:

Carbohydrates, fats and proteins are among the major nutrients in the food component.

  • Where proteins helps in growth of the body where as carbohydrates and fat provide energy. Protein has 4 calories per gram.
  • Carbohydrates are instant form of energy. All carbohydrates turn into glucose and raise our blood sugar. Carbohydrate has 4 calories per gram.
  • While fats are the slowest source of energy but provides most energy. Each gram of fat provides about 9 calories [ approximately more than twice that in proteins or carbohydrates].

Hence, fat gives you the most energy .

Minchanka [31]
Because it has the ability to get light, photosynthesis would happen. Since it is in an airtight jar, it will use all the CO2 in the jar until all the CO2 is gone and there is only Oxygen left. Photosynthesis's rate will decrease rapidly. After that, the plant will have no more energy since there is no CO2 to allow it to keep with photosynthesis, so it would die off.

Explain why an envelope virus that simply leaks out of an infected cell can be worse than a virus that quickly lyses and kills t
o-na [289]

Answer:

The enveloped viruses are resistant to disinfectants.

Explanation:

The outer covering or the envelope in the virus comes from the infected cell. This envelope is formed by the process called as budding off, from the host cell. The envelope that covers the virus provides resistance to various disinfectants and prevent virus from damage. The outer coat (envelope) is formed of a small part of cell membrane.

The virus that lyses and kills the cell immediately is less worse than the enveloped virus. The virus that kills cells immediately prevents the host cell from continuously synthesizing new virus particles. Thus, no more viral particles can be produced by the host cell. So, envelope viruses are worse that viruses that directly kills the host cell.

Which statement most accurately explains how allosteric regulation can change an enzyme's catalytic activity? View Available Hin
Digiron [165]

Answer:

In allosteric inhibition, a regulatory molecule binds to a location other than the active site, resulting in a change in enzyme shape that allows the active site to bind substrate.

Explanation:

Allosteric regulation of an enzyme can be positive or negative, but it always involves effector molecules that bind to non-active site of the enzyme and change its conformation. That site of binding is called allosteric or regulatory site. If the enzyme activity is enhanced effector molecule is called allosteric activator but if the activity is decreased effector molecules are allosteric inhibitors.
