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.

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

<u><em>The correct option is C) Prions</em></u>

Explanation:

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)  or Mad Cow Disease  is a disease which occurs due to transmissible particles known as prions. Prions cannot be considered as living organisms as they do not acquire many of the living characteristics. They are just considered as a protein which gest converted into an activated, toxic form  as soon as they encounter a host cell. This toxic protein harms the central nervous system (CNS) of the cow host and is transmissible.
