While you are sleeping, approximately between 30% and 70% of the energy your cells use is derived from fats, fats and proteins are the main source of energy and the percentage is going to depend on the type of body and metabolism.

The percentage of energy derived from fat while sleeping is <em><u>60-70 percent per day. </u></em>

Further explanation

Calories are units for measuring energy. The energy needed by the body to breathe, to take selfies (which can sometimes be dozens of times a day), fights with girlfriends, eat, and so on.

Fat is an element (compound) that exists in living things (humans, animals, and plants). Fat functions to maintain body temperature, protect internal organs and help the absorption of vitamins A, D, E, and K in our body.

It can be concluded that Calories are a unit of measuring energy, while fat is a compound whose measuring unit is grams. So, the forms of calories and fat are different. Fat is part of the food, while calories are the energy contained in the food.

There are three types of burning of calories in the body which are as follows:

  • Primary Combustion

Basal Metabolic Rate, to carry out its function so that we stay alive, all internal organs of the human body burn calories, including activities while sleeping. How many? An average of 60-70 percent of the total calories spent a day.

  • Second Burning

Digestion, which means the process of "transferring" nutrients and energy from food into the body. To digest food, we burn calories. How many? An average of 10-15 percent of the total energy spent a day.

  • Third Burning

To move, as small as, to high-intensity exercise, we burn calories. On average about 15-30 percent of the total energy, we spend a day.

So, for example, in one day you eat food with a total energy of 2,000 calories. Then it turns out that your BMR is 1,400 calories. Then to digest food, you spend 300 calories, and from exercise that day you spend 300 calories. That means the total energy you spend is 1,400 plus 300 plus 300 calories or 2,000 calories. This means you do not burn fat.

What five criteria must be met for a substance to be a mineral.
mafiozo [28]

Minerals may be defined as the combination of two or more elements of a substance.

<u>Five criteria that exhibits a particle to be minerals; </u>

  • They are natural and not man-made.
  • Inorganic i.e. not made by any organism.
  • Minerals are solids, not liquid or gas.
  • They have a definite chemical structure.
  • The atoms in minerals are arranged systematically and are arranged in a repeated pattern.

Minerals are natural and we use it in our day to day life. Products like salt and even a pencil have minerals. Also, these minerals help the parts in the human body to grow faster and function properly.

Leigh's disease is a mitochondrially inherited disease with symptoms that include seizures, fatigue, impaired reflexes, breathin
Ahat [919]

About the question:

You will find the pedigree in the attached files

Answer:

  • individual 4 → Affected woman → Black circle
  • individual 5 → Affected woman or man → Black circle or square
  • individual 7 → Healthy woman → Empty circle
  • individual 10 → Affected boy → Black Square

Explanation:      

Mitochondrial inheritance is the transmission of a disease or a trait from the maternal line.

<em>Most of the DNI is in the nucleus, but there is also DNI in mitochondria. Sperm cells hardly transfer mitochondrial genes to the progeny</em>, so mitochondrial DNI is mostly inherited from the maternal side. If there exists any mutation in this mitochondrial DNI, the whole progeny of the mutated woman will be affected, as they will get the mother genotype carrying the mutation. On the contrary, if an affected man is carrying a mutation in mitochondrial DNI, non of their descendants will get the disease.

Before answering the question, let us remember the pedigree symbols.

  • Squares represent Males/Men
  • Circles represent Females/Women
  • Empty symbols represent healthy/non-affected individuals
  • Solid black symbols represent sick/affected individuals

In the exposed pedigree, we can see that the mother is affected by the disease (individual number 2), so all her children are also affected (individuals 4, 5, and 6) because the <em>disease is mitochondrially inherited</em>.

Individual 3 is a healthy man, so individual 4 must be an affected woman (Black circle). As she is the one affected, then all her children will also be affected. This couple <em>had one boy and two girls</em>. Individuals 8 and 9 are girls (circle), so individual 10 must be the affected boy (black square).  

On the other hand, individual 6 is an affected man (black square), son of individuals 1 and 2. This man couples with a woman, and they have all healthy children. So this woman (individual 7) must be healthy. Even though the man is affected, all their children are not because their mother (7) is not. Remember that sperm cells do not transmit the mitochondrial genes to the progeny.      

And finally, individual number 5 might be either a man or a woman. In any case, this person is also affected by Leigh's disease.
