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

3. jack is using plastic beads to model water molecules in each state of water. how shoule she the beads to represent water mole
just olya [345]

Jack should arrange the beads close together and slide past each other to represent water molecules in a liquid.

<h3>How are the molecules of water arranged when water is in its liquid phase?</h3>
  • Each water molecule contains two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen, arranged such that one side of the molecule (nearest the hydrogens) is positively charged while the other side (nearest the oxygen) is negatively charged.
  • They’re arranged randomly, and in random motion.
  • In fact, they’re not even keeping the same hydrogen atoms, as they are constantly popping off and reforming on the nanosecond time scale.
