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.

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

Liula [17]

Answer:

Jennifer should understand that exposure to teratogens can cause the most damage during exposures such as <em>the duration of exposure, the amount of teratogenic substance, and the stage of development the embryo or fetus is in during the exposure. </em>

Explanation:

<em>Teratogens</em> may affect the embryo or fetus in a number of ways, causing physical malformations, problems in the behavioral or emotional development of the child, and decreased intellectual quotient (IQ) in the child. Additionally, <em>teratogens</em> may also affect pregnancies and cause complications such as preterm labors, spontaneous abortions, or miscarriages. <em>Teratogens </em>are classified into four types: physical agents, metabolic conditions, infection, and finally, drugs and chemicals.
