Energy is required for the normal functioning of the organs in the body. Many tissues can also use fat or protein as an energy source but others, such as the brain and red blood cells, can only use glucose. Glucose is stored in the body as glycogen. The liver is an important storage site for glycogen.

Evolutionary theory has become the central organizing principle of biological science. Could this scientific theory ever become

sveta [45]

The answer requires looking at the meaning of the words 'theory' and 'law'. The formal definition of a theory is that it is a comprehensive explanation of a observed phenomenon supported by a lot of evidence. Law is a fact that is bound to be true in nature, example Newton's second law. However, a theory is subjected to continuous refinements based on the several new findings that happen with time. These refinements make the theory appear incomplete. As with the theory of evolution, a lot of research work is being put to understand the complex phenomenon of genetic inheritance of traits of behaviour. Unless there are evidences from nature for all the aspects of evolution in theory, it'll remain a theory and not become a law.

Answer is A) Yes, if scientists decide that enough evidence supports the theory.

Glucose is broken down in the chemical processes of aerobic respiration.

Papessa [141]

$\bold{\huge{\purple{\underline{ Answer }}}}$

Aerobic respiration :- Aerobic respiration is process of respiration in which complete oxidation of glucose takes place in the presence of oxygen

That is, 

Aerobic respiration is takes place in four stages :-

Glycolysis
The link reaction
The Krebs cycle
Oxidative phosphorylation

In aerobic respiration, Glucose with 6 carbon atoms broken into 2 pyruvic acid each with 3 carbon atom and produces water + CO2 + energy.

<h3>Whereas, </h3>

Anaerobic respiration :- is the process of respiration in which incomplete oxidation of glucose takes place in the absence of oxygen

The end products of glucose in anaerobic respiration is

In human muscles,  Lactic acid + Energy
In yeast, Ethanol + CO2 + Energy

Hence, Option D is the correct answer.
