Answer:

C.The percentage of essential body fat is the same for both males and females.

Explanation:

Among the given statements, only C is incorrect. Typically, on average, women have 5-12% more body fat than men. This has been mainly linked with the female hormones (e.g. oestrogen). Firstly, women can store more fat in their bodies due to the presence of excessive adipose tissues. Secondly, they are suppose to carry a child at some stage of their life, so a better food supply and protection is necessary.

On the other hand, rest of the options are true. Essential body fat is always required by body. It accounts for 3% of total body wight. And, it can be found in organs, bones and muscles at different percentages.

Which of the following explains the role of plants in the carbon cycle?*
Dovator [93]

Answer:

Plants transfer carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to carbohydrates in the biosphere.

Explanation:

Plants are unique organisms being that they have the unique ability to manufacture their own food via the process of PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Hence, they are called AUTOTROPHIC. Photosynthesis is the metabolic process by which plant cells make sugar (glucose) in the presence of sunlight.

However, in the photosynthetic process, plants require inorganic source of carbon called CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) and water to perform the process. The chemical overall reaction of photosynthesis is as follows:

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

This explains the role of plants in the carbon cycle as they help transfer carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere to carbohydrates in the biosphere (living organisms).

Describe the three stages of cellular respiration and identify the part of the cell in which cach
RUDIKE [14]

Answer: 3 stages- glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid or Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. In glycolysis, the beginning process of all types of cellular respiration, two molecules of ATP are used to attach 2 phosphate groups to a glucose molecule, which is broken down into 2 separate 3-carbon PGAL molecules. PGAL releases electrons and hydrogen ions to the electron carrier molecule NADP+.  A carboxyl group is removed from pyruvate and released as carbon dioxide. The two-carbon molecule from the first step is oxidized, and NAD+ accepts the electrons to form NADH. The oxidized two-carbon molecule, an acetyl group, is attached to Coenzyme A to form acetyl CoA.  The citric acid cycle, where acetyl CoA is modified in the mitochondria to produce energy precursors in preparation for the next step. Oxidative phosphorylation, the process where electron transport from the energy precursors from the citric acid cycle (step 3) leads to the phosphorylation of ADP, producing ATP.  The space between the inner and outer membrane is called the intermembrane space. The space enclosed by the inner membrane is called the matrix. The second stage of cellular respiration, the Krebs cycle, takes place in the matrix. The third stage, electron transport, takes place on the inner membrane.

Compare the idea, physical, and computer models.
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The idea model is used to for relationships between variables, such as time and distance, that can be graphed or be placed into an equation. A physical model, on the other hand, is generally used for objects, such as a cell, to show the various parts and their orientation in respect to each other. A computer model is used to track weather patterns and other factors to predict natural events.
