One of the reasons we eat food is to gain energy. How can we calculate the amount of energy that a food contains?

Biology

Serga [27]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

By calculating the total calorific value of each food ingredients

Explanation:

Food’s energy content is due to its calorific values or the amount of calories it it. Carbohydrate, protein and fat are the major constituents of a food. Suppose, the amount of carbohydrate, protein and fat intake in an adult is  equal to X, Y and Z grams  

In one gram of carbohydrate , protein and fat there are 4 , 4 and 9 calories per gram  

Thus, the total calories in the food of adult will be equal to  

(X * 4 + Y * 4 + Z* 9) calories

When comparing maxillary and mandibular lateral incisors the mandibular incisor crown is wider mesio-distally than the mandibula
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Mammalian dentition is characterized by heterodonty, in which both the upper and lower teeth are differentiated morphologically into four types: flat, chisel-shaped incisors, conical canines, bicuspid premolars and multicuspid molars in the mesiodistal direction.

Explanation:.

  • <u>The mesiodistal crown:</u>dimension is the smallest of any maxillary teeth.The mesiodistal measurement of the pulp chamber is wider compared to the labiopalatal one. The periphery of the socket often dips down palatally, labially, mesially and distally to accommodate the shape of the root.
  • <u>Maxillary central incisor:</u>The general shape is similar to maxillary central incisor except that they are shorter and narrower. It has the most cervically located contact area of any incisor. The mesioincisal and distoincisal angles are more rounded than the corresponding angles of maxillary central incisor.
  • <u>Permanent mandibular central incisor:</u>The crown dimensions are the smallest of any tooth, it has bilaterally symmetrical crown, and the line angles are the sharpest of any tooth.It shows the shallowest labial developmental grooves, smoothest lingual surface contour and the least developed cingulum.

Arrange the order of events for the internalization of LDL particles into cells:
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The correct answer is "5-1-3-2-4".

Explanation:

Internalization of LDL particles into cells, is needed to form the intracellular vesicles known as endosomes. The order of events that allow for this process are:

5) LDL receptors migrate to the cell surface and cluster in clathrin-coated pits. Clathrin acts directing the receptors to the cell membrane region where endosomes are formed.

1) A combination of cholesterol and apolipoprotein binds to LDL receptors and becomes internalized as endocytotic vesicles. Once the receptors are in the proper cell membrane region, cholesterol and apolipoprotein are bound and internalized.

3) Several endocytotic vesicles fuse to form an endosome.

2) The environment of the endosome becomes acidic, which causes the LDL to dissociate from its receptor; additionally, the endosome fuses with a lysosome. LDL should be dissociated from its receptor since it is going to be degraded in the following step.

4) The LDL particle is degraded by the lysosome. This takes place after endocytosis, when LDL particles are transported into lysosomes once they are fused, cleaving the cholesterol esters into cholesterol and fatty acids.
