When carbohydrate consumption exceeds the body's immediate needs for energy, glycogenesis ____________ .

Biology
1 answer:
Andrei [34K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

When carbohydrate consumption exceeds the body's immediate needs for energy, glycogenesis  decreases.

The process of conversation of stored glycogen in the liver and muscles  to glucose is Glycogenesis. It takes place when the blood glucose drops,below certain levels and the body cells need glucose for biochemical activities.Therefore, when there are excess CHO consumption,more glucose would be in the blood,and thus no need for glycogenesis.(breakdown of glycogen)

Glycogen storage space in the liver and muscles is limited. When glycogen stores are full, use of glucose for energy __Increases__________ and oxidation of fat for energy ___decreases_________ .

Definitely, this is a simple logic.As the storage for glycogen is limited,excess glucose  move into the blood, since they can not be converted to glycogen.The glucose is expended through cellular reduce the amount in the blood. Therefore, Gluconeogenesis, the production of glucose from non-CHO substances drops. Hence beta- oxidation drops.

Overall, when carbohydrate intake is excessive, lipogenesis increases.The process of converting excess CHO to fatty acids.Biochemically it is the process of converting the Carbon precursor of acetyl co -A to fatty acids.Therefore this increases to synthesized more fatty acids from CHO

When a person rids themself of the food consumed during a binge it is known asa.starvation.b.constipation.c.purging.d.vomiting?
Nuetrik [128]
This is called purging. Purging is a situation when a person gets rid of ingested food <em>voluntarily</em>. This is in contrast to vomiting which is often involuntary. Purging is usually manifested by people with eating disorders such as <em>buliumia nervosa</em> and body dysmorphic syndromes. 

<em>Starvation is the lack of nutrients due to reduced intake of food and constipation is reduced frequency of defecation associated with difficulty in defecation.</em>

How are the plants in a desert ecosystem most likely to differ from the plants in a rain forest ecosystem?
erik [133]
Hey,

I believe this answer is A: The desert plants are likely to be better at retaining water.

Which they do, and they have to cause water is very scarce in the desert unlike the rain forest.

Desert plants likely to be larger is not proven and most plants can vary in size.

Narrower stems may have something to do with it but that goes back to they have to hold more water so this is incorrect.

Brighter flowers doesn't have anything to do with water consumption within a plant so this is incorrect as well.

Hope this helps!

Scientists often use fruit flies as a method to test hypotheses about human genes. Why are fruit flies advantageous in the study
Semmy [17]
Fruit flies share 75% of the genes that cause diseases with humans, so scientists can learn about human genetics by studying fruit fly genetics.
