Answer:

The amount of lipids stored as an energy reserve far exceeds the energy stored as glycogen since the human body is simply not capable of storing as much glycogen compared to lipids. Lipids yield 9 kcal of energy per gram while carbohydrates and proteins yield only 4 kcal of energy per gram.

What term is used to describe 100’s or 1000’s of amino acids chemically combined?

hjlf

Answer:

Polypeptide

Explanation:

Amino acids are the building block and simplest unit of protein molecules. The structural composition of each amino acids is made up of an amine group (-NH2), a carboxylic acid group (-COOH), a hydrogen atom (H) and a R side chain that differentiates every amino acid from one another.

In a reaction process called condensation, amino acids are chemically joined together via the amine group of one and the carboxylic group of another. This process releases water molecule (H20) to form a bond called PEPTIDE bond between the amino acids. Several amino acids in their 100’s or 1000’s that are chemically joined this way forms a POLYPEPTIDE chain, which in turn forms the protein molecule.

How do the respiratory and circulatory depend on each other for gas exchange?

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Haemoglobin in the red blood cells which is one of the components of the circulatory medium, the blood, has a great affinity for oxygen hence transports it around the body during circulation. It is the circulatory system that carries both oxygenated and deoxygenated blood around the body, between the lungs and the heart. The circulatory system takes blood with carbon dioxide to the lungs where oxygen that entered into the body through the nostrils will be exchanged with carbon dioxide in the alveoli. Consequently carbon dioxide will go out of the body through the nostrils via the trachea and haemoglobin in the red blood cells in the blood( blood capillaries) will

carry oxygen which is transported around the body.

In which type of rock would you find a large amount of silica?

____ [38]

Answer:

igneous

Explanation:

Igneous rock is the type of rock that contains a large amount of silica. Igneous rocks are formed when molten rock (magma or lava) cools and solidifies. Silica is a common component of magma, so igneous rocks are often rich in silica. Glass, which is also made from silica, is not a type of rock. Metamorphic and sedimentary rocks are formed through processes that do not involve the melting of rock, so they typically contain lower amounts of silica.
