Why can working out actually cause you to gain weight instead of lose it?

Biology
2 answers:
Viktor [21]3 years ago

Working out can cause you to gain weight because you are pushing your muscles to work hard and build up, which makes you gain muscle or muscle mass. Muscle actually weighs more than fat, so if you build up a lot of muscle by working out, you will become heavier instead of lighter.

Hope this helped! Comment if you have questions!

Answer:   Muscle tissue weighs more than fat.

Explanation:

Multiple choice answers:

  • The body retains water after strenuous physical activity.
  • Fat cells expand to accommodate the increased number of burned calories.
  • Your total amount of lean mass decreases the more you exercise.
  • Muscle tissue weighs more than fat.

Enzymes that catalyze endergonic reactions are likely to bind
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

1. The correct option is D.

Explanation:

The biochemical reactions that occur in human biological systems are of two types based on the amount of heat required, they are exergonic and endergonic reactions.

Exergonic reactions are those biochemical reactions that release energy into the environment. The free energy (Delta G) of this type of reaction is negative. Endergonic reaction on the other hand are those reaction that absorb heat energy from their environment. The free energy of these reactions are positive.

Because endergonic reactions need extra heat energy to occur, enzymes that catalyze endergonic reactions usually bind to ATP. ATP is the energy currency of the cell and it provides the necessary energy that the reaction required to occur.

2. The correct option is B.

Both nucleic acid and phospholipids have phosphate groups in their structure. Generally, the structure of nucleic acid is made up of nitrogenous bases (uracil, thymine, adenine, guanine and cytosine), pentose sugar (either deoxy-ribose or ribose) and phosphate groups. Nucleic acids are of two types, RNA and DNA.

The phospholipid structure on the other hand is made up of fatty acids and phosphate groups. Phospolipids are the major types of lipid that make up the cell membranes of living cells.

Comparing the structures of the two molecules show us that the two molecules have phosphate groups in common.

The consequences of artificial selection and the advantages and disadvantages of using genetic information in society. Use facts
Zinaida [17]

Artificial selection or selective breeding is a process of selecting the “advantageous” characteristics from the plants or animals by humans and using them for breeding. There are many advantages of artificial selection:

• More agricultural products, gaining higher profit (for example more milk from cow, or more fruit)

• Elimination of diseases by identifying the plants/animals with disease

• Production of superior breed.

On the other hand, negative effects might also occur, so the disadvantages of artificial selection are:

• Genetic mutations  

• Loss of genes

• Diseases

All of these negative impacts are connected and often arise from the breeding of desirable organisms.

(03.05 hc) the base pairs in a dna strand are held together with hydrogen bonds. if the two nitrogenous bases in each pair were
asambeis [7]

The cell would have to take in and use more energy in order to break the covalent bonds.

The correct option is B

Hydrogen bonds :

are the chemical mechanism that governs the complementarity of the bases of DNA. This correspondence is unique thanks to the geometry of the hydrogen donor atoms and the acceptors that form the bases.

The (hydrophobic) bases are stacked inside the double helix of DNA; their plane is perpendicular to the axis of the double helix. The outside (phosphate and sugar) is hydrophilic.

The hydrogen bonds between the bases of one strand and the bases of the other strand keep the 2 strands united.

One purine on one strand necessarily binds to a pyrimidine on the other strand. As a corollary, the number of purine residues is equal to the number of pyrimidine residues.

* A binds to T (by 2 hydrogen bonds).

* G binds to C (via 3 hydrogen bonds: more stable bond: 5.5 kcal vs 3.5 kcal).

What part of the DNA strand do hydrogen bonds hold together?

hydrogen. Covalent bonds occur within each linear strand and strongly bond the bases, sugars, and phosphate groups (both within each component and between components). Hydrogen bonds occur between the two strands and involve a base from one strand with a base from the second in complementary pairing.
