Answer:

The answer is B. They have highly folded membranes.

Explanation:

A highly folded structure is advantageous for microscopic organelles such as the mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum. These organelles need to produce high amounts of ATP and proteins in a day, respectively.

For the endoplasmic reticulum, with ribosomes attached, it is responsible for the manufacturing, packaging, and transport of specific proteins. Same goes for the mitochondria, which is responsible for energy production and respiration. These processes are so demanding that in order to be more efficient in being productive, the highly folded membranes provide a wider and better surface area for synthesis of proteins or ATP, despite the size of these organelles.

When protein consumption is in excess of body needs and energy needs are met, the excess amino acids are broken down and the ene
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Stored as fat

Explanation:

The body requires a variety of macro nutrients for building blocks to fortify the body and keep it functioning. One of the important building blocks are amino acids that are derived from proteins. These are broken down in the stomach by protein digestion enzymes by amylase, proteases and hydrochloric acid.

In the even that the body has taken in too many units of protein this will be stored in the liver as glycogen. This is a form of "animal carbohydrate" or "animal sugar."

The glycogen stores will remain there for a reservoir for energy whenever the body requires it. In the event of overeating the body will store the glycogen in a more concentrated form, fat via the fatty acid synthesis pathway.

How does diploidy help to preserve genetic variation? see concept 23.4 (page 498)?
mario62 [17]
Monoploid organisms reproduce asexually since they need to transmit all of their genetic material to their offspring. Diploid organisms, have 2 copies of their genetic material that differ slightly in their genes. Since the progeny gets half of the DNA from each parent, we have that new combinations can emerge; for example, if the mother is AA for some allele and the father aa, their offspring will be Aa, a new genotype. This might have different implications (for example, the recessive gene for thalassemia also provides resistance to malaria). Finally, during meiosis, there is also an event called crossover that increases the genetic variation of the offspring.
