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

Gala2k [10]
The correct option is C.
Scanning electron microscope is a type of microscope that uses beams of electrons that are reflected to form images to scan the surfaces of mounted biological specimens. High resolution, three dimensional images can be obtained via the reflected beam of electrons. Thus, the electron scanning microscope is the perfect microscope for examining the contours on the surface of a bacterial cell.
