The correct answer is A. Skin

Explanation:

In biology and related fields, an organ refers to structures composed of tissues that have a similar or same function. This includes organs such as kidneys, heart, lungs, among others. In the case of skin, this is considered an organ because the cells and tissue that composed skin serve to same purposes that include protecting the body from pathogens, regulating temperature and collecting stimulus related to sensations.

Moreover, the skin is the largest organ in the body because this can be found along all the body acting as an outer covering, while other organs are limited to one location, for example, the heart is only found in the chest, while the skin is the outer covering of the inner structures and tissues.

Most of the energy that your brain uses comes from
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Glucose

Explanation:

The brain is an energy-hungry organ. Despite comprising only 2 percent of the body’s weight, the brain gobbles up more than 20 percent of daily energy intake. Because the brain demands such high amounts of energy, the foods we consume greatly affect brain function, including everything from learning and memory to emotions.

Just like other cells in the body, brain cells use a form of sugar called glucose to fuel cellular activities. This energy comes from the foods we consume daily and is regularly delivered to brain cells (called neurons) through the blood.  

Studies suggest the quality of the foods consumed over a lifetime affects the structure and function of the brain. For instance, the consumption of omega-3 fatty acids found in fish provides structural material to maintain neurons. Studies also suggest omega-3 fatty acids are essential for the transmission of information between brain cells. In contrast, foods that are rich in sugars and saturated fats have been found to promote oxidative stress, which leads to damage to cell membranes.  

The food you eat also affects molecules in the brain that support cognition. Some foods, such as those with turmeric, support cognition by helping to maintain molecular events related to energy metabolism.

Recent studies suggest lifestyle choices that affect the metabolism of nerve cells, such as diet and exercise, may in some cases provide a non-invasive and effective strategy to counteract neurological and cognitive disorders.
