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

Lactose is milk sugar, and as infants, humans produce substantial amounts of the lactase enzyme to digest it. However, as we age
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

a) avoiding all dairy products containing lactose.

b) taking lactase enzyme tablets when consuming lactose products

e) taking lactase enzyme tablets or avoiding all dairy products

Explanation:

When a baby become 2 to 5 year old the production of most of the lactase stops so the undigested lactose gets into the colon where it acts as substrate for the lactic acid bacteria which produce lactic acid, CO2 and cause painful gas, bloating, nausea, diarrhea, etc.

So for avoiding this problem, lactose-containing dairy products should be avoided by lactose intolerant person or they can take lactase enzymes containing tablets after consuming lactose products because the lactose will be digested by the lactase enzyme which is present in the tablet and no lactose will be remained for lactose fermenting bacteria.
