You eat a bowl of beans as part of vour dinner. As vou digest the beans, the proteins that are present get broken down to their

component amino acids. As your body destroys the macromolecules that were present in the beans, is the energy present in those molecules destroyed?
A. Yes. By breaking down these macromolecules, some of the energy they contained is destroyed.
B. No. While the vast majority of the energy contained in these macromolecules is converted to heat, it is not actually destroyed.
C. No. The energy contained within these macromolecules is converted into other forms of chemical energy and kinetic energy, though some is lost as heat.
D. No. Breaking down molecules does not lead to the release of energy.

Answer:

Option C, No. The energy contained within these macromolecules is converted into other forms of chemical energy and kinetic energy, though some is lost as heat.

Explanation:

Breaking down of large molecules in to smaller molecules does not signify breaking down of energy stored in it and hence losing all the stored energy.  

Breaking down of large molecule is necessary to convert large molecules into small easily digestible molecules so that the food energy stored in them can be  stored  in some other form specifically chemical energy and can be used at later stages. However, in the process of conversion of large molecules into small molecules , a certain amount of heat energy is used.

Hence, option C is correct

The observation that NMDA receptor blockade interferes with performance in the Morris water maze provides an example of a ______
AnnyKZ [126]

The observation that NMDA receptor blockade interferes with performance in the Morris water maze provides an example of a <u>somatic intervention experiment</u> supporting the connection between LTP and memory.

<h3>What is a somatic intervention experiment?</h3>

Somatic Intervention is a technique that allows you to recognize and interrupt habitual patterns (such as anxiety, anger, stress, or fear), release bodily tension and associated memories, and move forward in a more calm and focused manner.

You will learn a new language through Somatic Intervention.

Thus, the correct option is <u>somatic intervention experiment.</u>

Robins typically lay four eggs. Four eggs allow the offspring to be well fed, whereas larger clutches may result in malnourished
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Stabilizing selection

Explanation:

The process of natural selection selects a species in one of the three ways: stabilizing selection, directional selection and disruptive selection.

During the process of stabilizing selection, nature does not favour the extreme phenotypes of the population but the intermediate phenotype with the maximum number of population.

In the given question, the Robin laid four eggs, neither more than four nor less than four which could have more disadvantages than the advantages.  Since the intermediate number of eggs is favoured by nature therefore the stabilizing pattern is observed.

Thus, Stabilizing selection is correct.

How do guard cells operate to allow leaf gas exchange
WINSTONCH [101]

In order for plants to produce energy and maintain cellular function, their cells undergo the highly intricate process of photosynthesis. Critical in this process is the stoma. Stomata (multiple stoma) are located on the outermost cellular layer of leaves, stems, and other plant parts. An open stoma facilitates the process of photosynthesis in three ways. First, it allows light to enter the intercellular matter and trigger the process. Second, it allows for the uptake of carbon dioxide, a key chemical in producing plant energy. Third, it allows for oxygen to be expelled into the outside environment, a byproduct of photosynthesis that is no longer needed by the cell.
