Energy is required for the normal functioning of the organs in the body. Many tissues can also use fat or protein as an energy source but others, such as the brain and red blood cells, can only use glucose. Glucose is stored in the body as glycogen. The liver is an important storage site for glycogen.

Answer: Glycogen

Explanation: When we intake food which is a source of carbohydrate to the body, then it is broken down into glucose molecules to be used as a source of energy.

The energy is obtained from the glucose molecules present in the bloodstream. The extra glucose gets stored in the muscle in the form of glycogen.

When there is a fasting condition or low glucose in the blood stream,  then the stored glycogen is converted into glucose to provide energy to the body.

Hence, Glucose and Glycogen metabolism is important for the body.

Which stable element is used to determine the age of volcanic rock? argon O carbon-14 O O potassium carbon-12 Which stable eleme
Verdich [7]

Answer:

Argon

Explanation:

Argon is actually used to determine the age. It's called potassium-argon dating b/c when volcano erupts the rocks in it contain potassium. The potassium slowly decays and produces argon. Scientists measure how much argon is in a given volcanic rock and do math backwards to figure out how many potassium atoms were needed to produce the given amount of argon. We already know the rate at which potassium decays so then they put two and two together to find the age.

Here's a link with some cool info on it:

Which of the following continents was not covered by ice during the Pleistocene ice age?
s2008m [1.1K]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The continent that was not covered by ice during the Pleistocene ice age. This is because the southern location of this nation made it much harder for ice to form, even during this time. Hope this answers the question.
