Answer:

b. the activity of lipoprotein lipase.

Explanation:

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is considered or known to be a rate-limiting enzyme that hydrolyzes circulating triglyceride-rich lipoprotein such as very low density lipoproteins and chylomicrons.

It is known that the Lipoprotein lipase is  activated by glucagon and adrenaline. And this why the activity of LPL increases in muscle tissue and decreases in adipose tissue, during fasting while , its activity decreases in muscles tissue and increases in adipose tissue.

It is known that, it  plays an important role in breaking down fat in the form of triglycerides, which are carried from various organs to the blood by molecules called lipoproteins.

In conclusion, women fat cells in the breasts, hips, and thighs produce abundant LPL, storing fat in those body sites  , while in men, fat cells in the abdomen produce abundant LPL.

Ardipithecus ramidus is located at the base of all four phylogenies in the animation. What does this position tell us about the
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Option (a).

Explanation:

Phylogentic tree may be defined as the the diagrammatic representation of the evolutionary relationship of the organism. The phylogenetic trees are made on the hypothesis and do not explain any fact.

The branching in the phylogenetic tree determines the evolution of the species from the common ancestor. The common ancestor is located at the base of the phylogenetic tress. Since, Ardipithecus ramidus is located at the base it shows that  Ardipithecus ramidus is a common ancestor.

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).

What happens if you drop precalc as a junior?
Ipatiy [6.2K]
It depends on if you have your required amount of credits for mathematics. If you do, then you don’t have to take any more mathematics classes, but if you don’t then you’ll still have to take an alternative mathematics class/es in order to graduate. Classes that are dropped will appear on your transcript as so

What<br> are<br> quantative traits reffered to?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

A quantitative trait is a measurable phenotype that depends on the cumulative actions of many genes and the environment.

Explanation:

These traits can vary among individuals, over a range, to produce a continuous distribution of phenotypes. Examples include height, weight and blood pressure.

Two petri dishes of radish seeds are prepared as follows: a disk of absorbent, but otherwise inert, filter paper is placed in th
valina [46]
A. The increased biomass in the sunlit dish came from the carbon and oxygen atoms present in the carbon dioxide it took up during photosynthesis that it used to synthesize organic molecules.

Plants use photosynthesis in order to convert light energy (from the sun) into chemical energy, stored in carbohydrate molecules (such as sugars). This chemical energy can be further transformed to fuel some of the organism's activities. This chemical reaction (photosynthesis) is light-dependent and includes the use of carbon dioxide and water to produce sugars and oxygen. The seeds that were put on a sunny windowsill had plenty of light energy needed for their photosynthetic activity. This resulted in the accumulation of sugar molecules in the plant tissues and an increase in the biomass. These sugar molecules were synthesized by the carbon and oxygen atoms comprising the carbon dioxide molecules absorbed during photosynthesis.   


B. The most likely explanation for the why the dark-grown seedling lost biomass is that cellular respiration in the cells of the seedlings consumed the starch and oils present in the seed as sources of energy.

Plants use cellular respiration in order to constantly supply energy to their cells. This chemical reaction uses the sugar molecules produced by the photosynthesis and stored in the plant tissues to get energy. Seeds put in a dark cupboard did not have access to any light energy, therefore, they could not perform photosynthesis. As a result, they had to perform respiration and consume starch and oils which were present in the seed to get the necessary energy. This resulted in a reduction in their biomass.
