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.

The emergent property of "life" appears at the ________ .
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Molecular level

Explanation:

Life is considered an emergent property of interactive molecules in a primitive environment. It is said to be emergent because life properties are not reducible to single molecules properties or even to the properties of all molecules contained in living systems. New properties emerge when all these molecules are part of living systems.
