Answer:

The maximum number of calories per day that she can consume to lose 3 pounds per month is 1650 kcal.

Explanation:

Energy (expressed in calories) is required for the normal functioning of our body and the main energy sources are macronutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in our food. The calories consumed through food are either converted to energy or stored within the body as fat.  In order to lose weight, a person should either burn more calories by increasing physical activities or reduce calorie intake. It is estimated that in order to lose 1 pound of weight, a person should burn 3,500 calories (one pound or 0.45 kilogram of fat = 3,500 calories).

In order to lose 3 pounds per month, the total calories Sally should burn per month is 3 × 3500 = 10,500 kcal.

Therefore, the calories she should burn per day is 10,500 ÷ 30 = 350 kcal (assuming, one month = 30 days).

Sally's daily energy requirement is estimated as approximately 2000 kcalories. Therefore, the maximum calories she can consume per day to lose 3 pounds per month is 2000 - 350 = 1650 kcal.

Flow Chart What happens to food and energy when it enters the cell? Finish the description for each organelle. Step 1: Mitochond
torisob [31]

Explanation:

Eukaryotic cells have specialized mechanisms to transport molecules along with membrane-bound organelles like the endoplasmic reticulum that provide a higher surface area for absorption and enable more efficient transportation.

Their structural components (i.e. their makeup) determine their function (what they do). In specific cell types, collected proteins may function as a unit called an organelle. Some organelles are bound by membranes like those that make up the external structure of the cell, with varying compositions of phospholipids and proteins. Several organelles facilitate the digestion of nutrients into metabolites and energy...

  • Step 1: Mitochondria break down food and release energy; In all eukaryotic cells mitochondria are small cellular organelles bound by membranes. The higher concentrations of reactants and solutes, increases metabolic reaction efficiency; these make most of the chemical energy required for powering the biochemical reactions within the cell. This chemical energy is obtained via the breakdown of nutrients from food, and is stored within the molecule ATP. Respiration in the mitochondria utilizes oxygen for the production of ATP in the Krebs’ or Citric acid cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate     (through the process of glycolysis in the cytoplasm) where several metabolites used for building other compounds are produced.
  • Step 2: Lysosomes... Some organelles separate proteins and molecules that may harm the cell by parceling them into membrane-bound organelles for example, proteases bound within lysosomes can break down many structural proteins, and carbohydrates found in food, waste, and cell components
  • Step 3: Vacuoles... Vacuoles are fluid filled organelles which store concentrated amounts of solutes, and waste products. Specialized vacuoles are also used to transport components to the cell membrane for cellular export.
  • Step 4: The endoplasmic reticulum... Most proteins that function in the cytosol (such as actin) or in the nucleus (such as DNA polymerase) are synthesized by free ribosomes. Proteins that function within the endomembrane system (such as lysosomal enzymes) or those that are destined for secretion from the cell (such as insulin) are synthesized by bound ribosomes in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The rest of the ER, which does not contain ribosomes is called the smooth ER,  and may contain lipids,  enzymes, and other proteins. As a protein destined for the endomembrane system is being synthesized by a ribosome, the first amino acids in the growing polypeptide chain act as a signal sequence. That signal sequence ensures that the ribosome binds to the outer membrane of the ER and that the protein enters the ER lumen.
  • Step 5: Golgi bodies... Like a post office, the golgi complex, or golgi body  recognizes signal sequences and packages these compounds into lysosomes for delivery to their final destination. Lysosomes fuse with the plasma membrane to empty their contents into the extracellular space.

Lipid is one of the major classes of biomolecules needed by the body. The body breaks down the lipids that we consume to create
Darina [25.2K]
So the breakdown of lipids actually starts in the mouth. Your saliva has this little enzyme called lingual lipase, which breaks down these fats into something called diglycerides. These diglycyerides then make there way to the intestines, where they stimulate the pancreas to release lipase (another fat breaking enzyme!) and the pancreas to release bile. The bile and pancreatic juices both work together to break these diglycerides into fatty acids. It’s helpful to know some of the root words. Glycerol- the framework to which the fatty acids stick. Glyceride- think of this guy as several fatty acids stuck to a glycerol. Lipids- think fats, and their derivatives (our glyceride friends.) tri/di/mono- these are just number prefixes! Lipids are one glycerol molecule, and then either one, two, or three fatty acids attached, which is where you get mono(1)/di(2)/tri(3)glyceride from. I know this was long, but hopefully it helps!

PLEASE HELP ME I'M BEING TIMED I WILL DOUBLE THE POINT
jekas [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Honeycreepers arose from a single species that migrated to Hawaii and adapted to different niches over time.

Explanation:

All Hawaiian honeycreeper bird species share similar muscle and skeletal structures. This suggests that all Hawaiian bird species arose from a common ancestor and evolved due to different environmental conditions such as eating particular foods for particular species.

It is believed to be a single species of honeycreeper who migrated from the mainland to Hawaiin island and adapted to different niches over time by the process known as natural selection.

Describe the movement of the dominoes as energy is transferred through them and then compare the movement of longitudinal waves
alexdok [17]

Answer:

The waves move outwards from where the rock hit. When the waves pass the wood, it bobs up and down. In the case of the falling dominoes, the movement of the dominoes was in the direction parallel to the movement of the wave, longitudinal.
