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.
Answer:
The coral reefs, mangrove forest, and salt marshes are disappearing due to pollution, over exploitation by humans, and climate change.
Explanation:
Corals are aquatic animals. They form calcium carbonate deposits in the shallow seawater which becomes coral reefs. The corals feed on bacteria, algae. The coral reef provides a microenvironment for many aquatic fishes, plants, and animals. The coral reef acts as the keystone species of the aquatic habitat. That's why they are important for the survival of different aquatic life. The human activities like overfishing, marine pollution causes the degradation of coral reefs. The pollution kills many algae, bacteria, which are the foods of corals. Therefore, they die.
The mangrove and salt marshes are present near the coast. They live in saline waters. Mangrove provides a protective environment by preventing sea tides, home for many organisms.
The salt marshes are formed due to the accumulation of sea salts, and soils in the coastlines. They are seen also at river banks. The salt marshes are provided with grasses. It helps in soil fertility and provides habitat to different organisms.
Both the salt marshes and mangroves forest destroys by over-cultivation, aquaculture, and industrialization near the coast. The construction of dams also damages the mangrove and salt marshes. Mangroves are cut down for timber, fodder purposes. Pollution and climate change also the major cause of the disappearance of this ecosystem.
Untreated streptococcal infections in childhood that can lead to kidney infection is known as glomerulonephritis.
The somatosensory cortex (located in the parietal lobe of the brain) is the main sensory stimuli receiver.
