In the post-absorptive state (e.g. 10 hours after a meal), which is not likely to occur?

1 answer:

6 0

I found the exercise on the internet and these are the options:
"<span>a. gluconeogenesis begins
b. beta-oxidation increases
c. blood glucose levels fall
d. the liver produces more glycogen"

The option that's not likely to happen is "</span>the liver produces more glycogen".
The formation of glycogen by the liver happens after eating a meal with carbohydrates. The level of blood glucose increases, and insulin is secreted by the pancreas and will act by allowing glucose to enter the body cells. When the glucose enters the liver cells, insulin will also act on the liver by stimulating glycogen synthesis. This process continues to happen until glucose levels begin to decrease in the <span>post-absorptive state</span> and, therefore, insulin secretion also decreases leading glycogen synthesis in the liver to stop.

Two true-breeding stocks of pea plants are crossed. one parent has red, axial flowers and theother has white, terminal flowers;

xxTIMURxx [149]

This is a typical case of a dihybrid cross.
From the phenotype of the offspring, we can conclude that the gene for the red color of the flower and the gene for the axial position of the flower are dominant.
Since we know that the ratio of phenotypes in a dihybrid cross of independently inherited alleles is
9(dominant for both traits)
3(dominant for one trait, recessive for the other)
3(dominant for the second trait, recessive for the other)
1(recessive for both traits)
we can expect 3/16 of the f2 generation to be dominamt for one trait and recessive for the other (red, terminal flowers), or to be precise 190 individuals.

The constant turnover of body tissues requires the ______ supplied by carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids

Lera25 [3.4K]

The constant turnover of body tissues requires the <u>chemical energy </u>supplied by carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids.

<h3> What is Chemical energy?</h3>

The bonds of chemical molecules contain energy.
Exothermic reactions are those in which chemical energy is released during the reaction, frequently in the form of heat.
Some of the heat energy needed for a reaction to continue can be stored as chemical energy in newly created bonds.
The body transforms the chemical energy in food into heat and mechanical energy.
At a power plant, coal's chemical energy is transformed into electrical energy. Through the process of electrolysis, the chemical energy in a battery can also generate electricity.
