he typical human adult uses about 160 g of glucose per day, 120 g of which is used by the brain. The available reserve of glucos

e (~20 g of circulating glucose and ~190 g of glycogen) is adequate for about one day. After the reserve has been depleted during starvation, how would the body obtain more glucose?

Answer: Oxidation of body fatty acids

Explanation:

Once energy reserve has been depleted during starvation, the body switches to FAT OXIDATION.

The oxidation of long chain fatty acids to acetyl-CoA is a central energy-yielding pathway.

The acetyl-CoA generated enters the CITRIC ACID CYCLE and finally the ELECTRON TRANSPORT SYSTEM yielding ENERGY in form of ATP.

So, during starvation energy utilization switches TO oxidation of fatty acids.

Answer:

In humans, the major precursors from which glucose can be synthesized from are:

1. glycerol from triacylglycerols

2. glucogenic amino acids from protein.

3. Oxaloacetate formed from CO2

4. Pyruvate foem pyruvate carboxykinase

All there's are routes through which the body obtains glucose to replenish body glucose levels

Lipids and carbohydrates differ in which of the following fundamental respects?
Schach [20]

Answer:

Carbohydrates are hydrophilic  whereas Lipids are hydrophobic.

Explanation:

Carbohydrates can be most commonly understood as hydrates of carbons. They generally contain more than two carbon atoms and are easily soluble in water, thus giving them the characteristics of hydrophilic compounds. Sugar and glucose are some of the important examples of carbohydrates.

On the other hand, lipids comprise a polar region, which attracts water and a much larger non-polar region, which repels water. This non-polar region dominates the polar region of lipid molecules thus making it a hydrophobic compound. Oils, fatty substances, steroids, and waxes are some of the important examples of Lipid molecules.

What is the difference between the life cycle of ferns and the life cycle of humans?
Bond [772]
Ferns make their own food. They grow and reproduce using spores instead of things like seeds. Humans on the other hand have to ingest food from their surrounding and when mature reproduce sexually. They can also choose if they want to reproduce or not while ferns don't have that option. Sexual reproduction is based on inseminating and egg cell, while ferns don't worry about this because the spores just fall on the ground.

Why SA node called pacemaker of heart
stich3 [128]
SA Node<span> which is also known as the sinus node, is the natural pacemaker of the heart. It controls the heart rate by generating electrical impulses and then sending electrical signals through the heart muscle, causing the heart to contract and pump blood throughout the body. </span>

The SA Node is located in the outer layer of the right atrium of the heart, near the superior vena cava. It is made up of a group of cells (myocytes) positioned on the wall of the right atrium, at the center of the heart and near the entrance of the superior vena cava. These cells contract at a rate of about 70-80 times per minute, which make up the natural heart beat.
