The correct answer is:  oxaloacetate
Anaplerotic reactions are chemical reactions that form intermediates that can be used in the further steps of metabolic pathways. These reactions are very important, because it is crucial for the cell to regulate concentrations of TCA cycle metabolites and intermediates.
The reaction in which pyruvate is converted to oxaloacetate is catalyzed by pyruvate carboxylase and it occurs in mitochondria. Also, pyruvate can be converted to L-malate, in a similar way.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Correct answer: A). Gathering evidence
The scientific explanation uses measurements and observations in order to explain something in the natural world. The Scientist uses the scientific method to collect evidence in the experiment that is related to the hypothesis.
They can gather the evidence by just observing the natural world and its phenomena or by performing an experiment in the laboratory or by running a model.
Hence, the correct answer would be option A.

Answer:
The energy which is taken by consuming food to perform different functions such as movement, exercise, breathing and thinking etc. 
Explanation: 
The energy from the food is released in the process of respiration. In respiration, energy is released in the form of ATP due to the breakdown of glucose molecules in the mitochondria of the cell. This energy is used by the body in different activities.
