Which of these polymers acts as an energy storage molecule?

Biology
2 answers:
ValentinkaMS [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be A) Carbohydrates.

Carbohydrates are the macro-molecules made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

Polymers of the carbohydrates (such as glycogen, starch) are made up of repeating units of monosaccharides such as glucose.

They are used as the short-term energy storage in most of the animals.

Glycogen is the polymer of glucose stored in the muscle cells and are used as the short term energy storage.

Our body can convert excess carbohydrates or food into the fat which is used for long-term energy storage.

In plants, starch (the polymer of glucose) is used as the storage form of the glucose or energy.

I think the correct answer from the list of choices above is option A. Carbohydrate is the polymer that acts as an energy storage molecule. It is the molecule that is used inside the bodies of living organisms in order to have energy to do processes in order to live.

Ugo [173]

Answer:

Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels

Explanation:

Modulation of Ca+2 channel Epinephrine also causes an increase in cAMP that stimulates PKA that is protein kinase A, which in turn phosphorylates the voltage-gated Ca+2 channel that is the L channel. This phosphorylation results in a protein conformational change that enchances the channels activity.

Which of the following is UNLIKELY to affect bone remodeling?
S_A_V [24]

Glucagon

This is a hormone that deals with blood sugar homeostasis. When blood sugar levels are low, glucagon is produced to convert the fats in the reserve back to glucose until normal levels are achieved.

Explanation:

Bone remodeling involves coordinations of osteoclasts and osteoblasts cells in the bone. The former breaks down bone tissue while the latter mineralizes bones. Calcium is the main ion in the body significant in mineralization of bone. Excess Ca2+ is stored in bone while low calcium levels in blood result in bone resorption.  

Stress on a bone also causes increased mineralization to strengthen the bone against this stress. This is why astronauts when they go to space, due to less stress from low gravity, bone loses its mass. When they return back to earth, the bone readjusts to the increased stress from higher gravity by increased mineralization.

The hormone responsible for bone homeostasis is parathyroid hormone.

What is the single most important factor in determining the temperature of a region?
Vladimir79 [104]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Geographical location is the single most important factor in determining the temperature of a region.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The location of an area and its surrounding environment is most important in its temperature determination. As the area located near to the ocean has a low temperature. And areas which are far away from the waters and there is low precipitation which means low rain. It indicates the higher temperature areas.

Elevation of region, height from the sea level also affects the temperature of region.
