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.

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Sex is a biological term and gender is depended on the roles performed by an individual. In our society it is mandatory for a man or woman to behave and develop sexual preference for its opposite gender and this conservative thought process had strongly held the base of defining a sexual acts which is intended to happen between a male and female only.

However, this is not something defined by nature but by individual likeliness. This is the reason why even after being a male by sex, a male by gender can have likeliness for another male. This is something which cannot be bounded by social and cultural belief even after being into it for years.

Hence, the given statement is false

Which two statements summarize a way that an other-feeder gets food?
maksim [4K]

Answer:

B. Sphagnum moss takes in energy from sunlight.

D. Euglenas carry out photosynthesis.

Explanation:

According to the question, "a self-feeder" means an autotrophic organism i.e. an organism that produces or obtains food by itself. The process by which an autotrophic organism obtains food is referred to as PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Photosynthesis entails the synthesis of food in form of organic compounds in the presence of sunlight.

Based on this, Euglenas, which is a plant-like protist, carrying out photosynthesis and Sphagnum moss, which is a lower plant (bryophyte) taking in energy from sunlight in order to perform photosynthesis are two examples that describes a "self-feeder"
