Biology
1 answer:
Norma-Jean [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

1. Synthesis and repair of muscle tissue

2. Production of ATP

3. Synthesis of glucose

Explanation:

Proteins are primarily used for tissue repairs and synthesis. They are polymers of amino acids used to make hormones, enzymes and other chemicals of the body. Therefore proteins are only reserved for synthesis and repairs of tissues.

During extreme starvation periods when then is no source of carbohydrates and adipose tissues has been depleted/used up, proteins are alternatively used as source of energy in form of amino acids that enters the liver. Tissues such as muscles are protein degraded to provide the brain with energy in form of ketone bodies and glucose, thus the weight loss in people suffering from malnutrition.

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The respiratory cycle converts NADH and FADH2 into reactants that the Krebs cycle requires to function. Thus, if oxygen is not present, the respiratory cycle cannot function, which shuts down the Krebs cycle. For this reason, the Krebs cycle is considered an aerobic pathway for energy production.

How do materials move within the earth.
statuscvo [17]

The new materials from the center of the Earth rises, so the hardens and pushes older pieces of the Earth away from each other, which causes the movement of materials.

<h3>How do materials move within the earth?</h3>

The Earth's thermal energy is the main cause of the movement of materials within the earth surface. The Large continent-size plates moves slowly about the Earth's surface, which is driven by the thermal energy. The Convection currents transfer hot, buoyant magma to the lithosphere's layer at plate boundaries and hot spots. Convection currents also transfer denser, cooler material from the crust to Earth's interior through the process of subduction.

So we can conclude that: The new materials from the center of the Earth rises, so the hardens and pushes older pieces of the Earth away from each other, which causes the movement of materials.

Two different scientists were studying the carbon levels of the air above a large city. They both found that the levels had incr
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Scientist 1

Explanation:

<em>The conclusion of scientists 1 is valid.</em>

Human activities such as burning of fossil fuels, agriculture, deforestation, etc. leads to the emission of carbon in the form of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. <em>An increase in the population of a city will only lead to an increase in these activities and hence, an increase in the amount of carbon emitted into the atmosphere.</em>

Also, volcanic activities leads to the production of volcanic gases which is a mixture of carbon dioxide, oxides of sulfur, nitrogen, etc.

<u>However, an active volcano that is several miles away from the city might not be a major source of carbon in the air above a large city. The carbon dioxide produced from such volcanic activity thins out before reaching the city.</u>
