Answer: Lipids.

Explanation:

The large carbon -hydrogen bonds(C-H) in chains of lipids makes them ideal storage of energy.

T<u>he more C-H bonds breakage, the higher protons availability from Citric acid cycle NADH and FADH2  and hydrogen atom splitting (to protons and electrons) for  the electron transport chains (ETC</u>), and therefore the higher proton pumps for  more ATP's synthesis in the mitochondria matrix.  

In addition large number of electrons  surrounding carbon atom in fatty acids than other food molecule is added factor.  The transfer of these electrons to oxygen during oxidation of fatty acids releases large amount of energy (9 kilo calorie) into the cells,  more than other food substances

"which list contains only vitamins that do not function as coenzymes in energy metabolism?"
galben [10]
The right answer is: vitamin C and choline
Choline (vitamin B4) is the precursor on the one hand acetylcholine (important neurotransmitter and neuromodulator) and on the other hand, the cascade initiated by betaine (intermediate in the biological methylation and precursor of membrane lipids). In this, it is considered, by extension, as an integral part of the family of B vitamins,
Vitamin C protects against cellular aging, is essential for the immune defenses and increases the assimilation of iron of plant origin. It also contributes to the formation of collagen. Its deficiency leads to a disease called scurvy (hence the ascorbic acid name of vitamin C).

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Parasympathetic nervous division

Explanation:

The parasympathetic division of nerves is a part of the autonomic nervous system which gets activated during the relax conditions.

The parasympathetic nervous system is the opposite of the sympathetic nervous system which gets activated during the stress condition.

The parasympathetic division gets activated when the level of cortisol and adrenaline gets decreased and the body responds by detoxifying, digesting and building immunity.

Thus, Parasympathetic nervous division is the correct answer.
