_____ is the main provider of energy for the brain and nervous system.

Biology
1 answer:
defon2 years ago
7 0
Glucose is the main provider of energy for the brain and the nervous system. Because the brain is so rich in nerve cells, or neurons, it is the most energy demanding organ, using one half of all the sugar energy in the body. Brain functions such as memory, thinking and learning are closely linked to glucose levels and how efficiently the brain uses this fuel source.

likoan [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

One of the functions of the muscle is the storage of amino acids which can be used for energy production when demands are high or for protein synthesis. But during muscle atrophy, this function becomes reduced which could lead to the particularly muscle been unable to stretch or contract due to weakness, it could also lead to the imbalance between protein synthesis and degradation.

Speculate as to how the information obtained from the sequencing of the human genome might be used to someday eliminate inborn e
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sequencing the human genome is the function of the human genome project with the goal of determining the base pairs/order of DNA nucleotides that make up human genome, and also identifying and mapping all of the genes of the human genome both from the physical level and its functions in molecular medicine. The benefits in this field could allow for better diagnosis of disease, early detection of certain diseases, and gene therapy and control systems for drugs.

Inborn errors of metabolism are rare genetic (inherited) disorders where the body cannot properly digest and turn food into energy through the normal pathway. The disorders are usually caused by mutations in specific enzymes that help in the break down of these foods.

Through the study of the human genome, sequences involved in these mutations giving rise to these disorders are identified and mapped to their variuos locations. This can help in the early diagnosis of the disorders and effective control system for drugs and gene therapy against these disorders.
