Why are proteins not usually used for energy?

Biology
1 answer:
Allushta [10]3 years ago
3 0
Turning amino acids into molecules that can be used in the Krebs cycle takes energy, which means that burning protein for fuel is not as efficient as burning carbohydrates. ... When amino acids are used as an energy source, it reduces the reserves of amino acids that are available for protein synthesis.

What can be done in the future for the greenhouse effect?
andrezito [222]

Second thoughts:

I don't think doing anything in the future will be of use, because we should have already done it, and we didn't, so we have to do it now.

And what we should do is:

To find and actually use and apply new energy sources.

To do more (or less, depending on what the problem is).

To clean the mess we have done / recover the gap in the ozone layer /fix the damage that we have caused.

If you're interested:

I don't think protesting (like we're currently doing) will be of help for two simple reasons:

1. - I don't know for sure, but I don't think politicians care, like or pay attention to protests (unless it's something like the Yellow Jackets).

2. - The time we spend protesting is more valuable than we think. We should leave that aside.

Hope it helped,

Autoantibodies are probably involved in:
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

systemic lupus erythematosus

Explanation:

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE or just lupus) is a chronic inflammatory disease of autoimmune origin, the symptoms of which may appear in various organs slowly and progressively (in months) or more rapidly (in weeks) and vary with phases of activity and remission. Because it is a disease of the immune system, which is responsible for producing antibodies and organizing inflammation mechanisms in all organs, when a person has SLE they may have different types symptoms and various body locations. Some symptoms are general such as fever, weight loss, loss of appetite, weakness and discouragement. Others, specific to each organ such as joint pain, skin blemishes, pleural inflammation, hypertension, and / or kidney problems.

The main cause of this disease is the imbalance in the production of antibodies that react with proteins in the body itself and cause inflammation in various organs such as the skin, mucous membranes, pleura and lungs, joints, kidneys, etc.). Thus, we understand that the type of symptom a person develops depends on the type of autoantibody the person has, and that as the development of each antibody relates to the genetic characteristics of each person, each person with lupus tends to have clinical manifestations. specific and very personal (symptoms).

Autoantibodies are antibodies directed to the body's own cells and tissues. Normally, the immune system differentiates the body's own proteins from foreign proteins, forming antibodies only against those identified as potentially dangerous.
