Which of the following statements about glycogen metabolism is FALSE?

Engineering
1 answer:
Ratling [72]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Glycogen is the primary energy source for muscle and liver cells.

Explanation:

Glycogen is a readily mobilized storage form of glucose. It is a very large, branched polymer of glucose residues that can be broken down to yield glucose molecules when energy is needed. Most of the glucose residues in glycogen are linked by α-1,4-glycosidic bonds. Branches at about every tenth residue are created by α-1,6-glycosidic bonds.

Glycogen is not as reduced as fatty acids are and consequently not as energy rich. Why do animals store any energy as glycogen? Why not convert all excess fuel into fatty acids? Glycogen is an important fuel reserve for several reasons. The controlled breakdown of glycogen and release of glucose increase the amount of glucose that is available between meals. Hence, glycogen serves as a buffer to maintain blood-glucose levels. Glycogen's role in maintaining blood-glucose levels is especially important because glucose is virtually the only fuel used by the brain, except during prolonged starvation. Moreover, the glucose from glycogen is readily mobilized and is therefore a good source of energy for sudden, strenuous activity. Unlike fatty acids, the released glucose can provide energy in the absence of oxygen and can thus supply energy for anaerobic activity.

Nearlyof all serious occupational injuries and illnesses stem from overexertion of repetitive motion.
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

a) 1/2

Explanation:

Overexertion accounted for more than  half of all events that resulted in a disabling condition.

Furthermore, 30% of all overexertion cases were reported in the services industry, on the other hand, 25% of injuries resulting from contact with objects and  equipment occurred in the manufacturing industry.

The above piece of information is taken from the bureau of labor statistics, Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses

"LOST-WORKTIME INJURIES AND ILLNESSES: CHARACTERISTICS  AND RESULTING DAYS AWAY FROM WORK, 2002"

A triangular plate with a base 5 ft and altitude 3 ft is submerged vertically in water. If the base is in the surface of water,
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Hydrostatic force = 41168 N

Explanation:

Complete question

A triangular plate with a base 5 ft and altitude 3 ft is submerged vertically in water  so that the top is 4 ft below the surface. If the base is in the surface of water, find the force against onr side of the plate. Express the hydrostatic force against one side of the plate as an integral and evaluate it. (Recall that the weight density of water is 62.5 lb/ft3.)

Let "x" be the side length submerged in water.

Then

w(x)/base = (4+3-x)/altitude

w(x)/5 = (4+3-x)/3

w(x) = 5* (7-x)/3

Hydrostatic force = 62.5 integration of  x * 4 * (10-x)/3 with limits from 4 to 7

HF = integration of 40x - 4x^2/3

HF = 20x^2 - 4x^3/9 with limit 4 to 7

HF = (20*7^2 - 4*7^(3/9))- (20*4^2 - 4*4^(3/9))

HF = 658.69 N *62.5 = 41168 N
