D.

The environment changes all the time. Animals of course have no control of it. When geographic changes happen (large canyon forming, volcanoes erupting, glaciers melting) and the population of species are isolated and not able to interbreed, the condition is geographic isolation.

Identify the trend common to both the 15-day-old and 1-month-old guinea pigs' red blood cells. identify the trend common to both
Ainat [17]

The correct answer is: Both experienced the most rapid uptake of glucose at the beginning of the experiment.

The difference between pigs would be in their uptake of glucose during the whole experiment, where the younger guinea pig's cells took up more glucose than the older guinea pig's. This is because older guinea pigs have fewer glucose transporter proteins.

Quiet metabolic activities account for about ________ of the average person’s daily energy expenditures
Valentin [98]

Quiet metabolism account for about 50% of the average person’s daily energy expenditures

A metabolism is a balancing act that involves two types of simultaneous activities: building up body tissues and energy stores (called anabolism) and breaking down body tissues and energy stores to get additional fuel for body functions (called catabolism)

Some of them are catabolic routes, such as glycolysis (the breaking of glucose), -oxidation (the breakdown of fatty acids), and amino acid catabolism. Others are anabolic pathways, such as those involved in energy storage (such as glycogenosis) and triglyceride synthesis (lipogenesis)

Metabolic pathways include the processes of producing and decomposing glucose molecules. A metabolic pathway is a chain of chemical reactions that feed off of one another.
