Biology
1 answer:
gulaghasi [49]4 years ago

Because he/she needs to store large quantities of energy that he/she would require for the race. Pasta mainly consists of wheat which a carbohydrate. carbohydrates are primary source of energy in the body. once an athlete consumes pasta, starch in the wheat will digested to produce excess glucose which will be stored in form of glycogen in the live by the help of hormone insulin. during the race day, when an athlete uses all glucose in the blood, glycogen is converted to glucose through the help of hormone glucagon. glucose is transported to skeletal muscle cells where it is converted to energy.

A molecule has been isolated from a cell. The molecule is found to be in a ring shape made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen at
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

C,D,,B) The molecule is likely a sugar.

Explanation:

The molecule is(hexose) a glucose.It  is a sugar formed as  the products of photosynthesis.It is also a carbohydrate because all sugars are CHO,although not all CHO are sugars.It is the smallest  components of cell membranes.Protein are the largest components based on molecular mass,while phospholipids are the largest components.

The three major elements in the molecule are Carbon.Hydrogen  and Oxygen. The general formula of carbohydrate is Cx(H2O)y. The ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is 2:1.Thus the hydrate refers to the water content.

Sugar as monosaccharide glucose is the simplest form with general molecular  formula of (CH2O)n  where may be n = 3 to 6. In glucose n=6,and it is called Hexose. Therefore the  molecule of glucose is C6H1206 in ratio 1:2:1.

The arrangement of glucose could be in straight chain or ring structure,Hexose sugar of glucose  and pentose can be ring structure.They have C-H chain length long enough to form ring structure.

In  glucose this can either be alpha or beta ring structure. Therefore the molecule is either the alpha or beta-glucose ring.

Answer:

If you watch carefully how the amoebas move, you're likely to find legs squirming and wiggling around trying to cover space. So this proves amoebas are alive.

Explanation:

Amoebas are living organisms belonging to the kingdom Protista. They are single-cellular organisms that move by extending and moving pseudopodia, extensions of their cellular membrane.
