Biology
1 answer:
Citrus2011 [14]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

 The body will behave as if it's being starved and the metabolic rates decreases.

Explanation:

Experimental Studies showed that individuals who used starvation diets for weight loss, consuming 50% of their body energy needs for three weeks, did have a significant reduction in their body weight entirely. It is also interesting to note that, if they lower their lean muscle mass by 5% it will reduce their lean muscle mass and organ size by 20%.

This leads to metabolism, resulting in a decrease in rate of metabolism causing a breakage of certain muscle stores so as to generate energy. Starvation diets is proven to give a far-reaching negative impacts on the body as starving to lose weight causes a decreases in the metabolic rate.

During photosynthesis, specific pigments absorb light energy, which is then used to fuel the building of sugar molecules. Which
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Chlorophyll a- violet blue

Chlorophyll b - orange red

Carotenoids- green yellow

Explanation:

The three major plant pigments are chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids.

Various pigments are identified by their specific pattern of wavelength absorption in the spectrum of visible light. Chlorophyll a absorbs light in the violet-blue region, while chlorophyll b absorbs orange-red light. Chlorophyll a and b reflects or transmits green light hence they appear green. Carotenoids absorb light in the green - yellow region hence they reflect longer yellow, red, and orange light.

How are food chains and food webs related
oksano4ka [1.4K]
