What are possible origins of Earth's surface and internal energy?
saul85 [17]

Answer:

The flow of heat from Earth's interior to the surface is estimated at 47±2 terawatts (TW) and comes from two main sources in roughly equal amounts: the radiogenic heat produced by the radioactive decay of isotopes in the mantle and crust, and the primordial heat left over from the formation of Earth.

Energy is stored in the body primarily as __________ in the muscles and liver and as ___________ in subcutaneous body fat.
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer: Energy is stored in the body primarily as GLYCOGEN in the muscles and liver and as TRIGLYCERIDE in subcutaneous body fat.

Explanation:

We take in food for the purpose of ENERGY, building of worn out tissues of the body and to boost the body immunity. After the intake of food, amino acids from dietary protein are used to synthesize body proteins and other molecules, carbohydrate is used to maintain blood glucose and to build glycogen stores, fat is used for energy or stored in the body.

The body must have a steady supply of energy with some of it coming from the metabolism of glucose.

GLYCOGEN formation occurs when there is excess blood glucose level in the process called glycogenesis. It is the suitable way glucose can be stored as it is insoluble and can not disturb the osmotic pressure of the cells. When food is restricted over time, glycogen stores are expended, and the body must rely on the breakdown of stored GLYCOGEN to be converted to glucose for energy production.

Also, energy for tissues that don't require glucose can come from the breakdown of triglycerides in the adipose tissue. TRIGLYCERIDES are formed by the liver when excess calories are taken, and are stored in the adipose tissues.

Consider the generalized cladogram of fish. A fossilized fish is found that has jaws but no true bones. Where does this fossil b
vekshin1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

It would not be D because D is the location of a common ancestor, AKA an animal that does not haver jaws or bones. It would not be C because the question states that the fish has jaws, and C does not have jaws since the arrow does not point to that. It would not be A because the question states the fish has "NO TRUE BONES", meaning that there are no bones present. And in A, there is the bones arrow pointing to it, meaning that A has bones since that trait is on the same horizontal line as A. Only leaving us with option B left, since it came from an ancestor with jaws but not from an ancestor with bones. Sorry, I'm not the best with explaining but hopefully that makes sense why it is B, it's like a family tree, you just have to follow it carefully :) I hope that helps
