The main function of cladodes is : Photosynthesis
Cladodes are a type of modified stems that has a flattened form like leaf. The function is actually also to replace the leaves in photosynthesis process. Hope this helps
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.
Answer:
Carbohydrates, such as sugar and starch, for example, are readily broken down into glucose, the body's principal energy source. Glucose can be used immediately as fuel, or can be sent to the liver and muscles and stored as glycogen.
