Answer:
converted into fat and stored in adipose tissue
Explanation:
When protein is taken in excess amount, because it cannot be stored in the body, it can be broken down to amino acids, which is further used as carbon skeletons to synthesize fats, which is then further stored in the adipose tissues.
When the body is not receiving enough calories from other nutrient sources like carbohydrates and fats, the available protein is the used as energy to meet the body's energy demands, by converting it to fat.
Note that, excess intake of protein can be harmful to the body.
The stubbing of the toe on the edge of the bedpost will result in the release of endorphins. Endorphins are the neurotransmitters that pass the nerve signals from one neuron to another. The endorphins are released in response to stimuli such as fear, pain and stress. These are released in the different parts of the nervous system, and the pituitary gland. The stabbing of the toe will act as a pain stimuli for the release of endorphins.
Hence, the answer is 'Endorphins'.
Salutations!
A meander that has been cut off from the river is called oxbow lake. I will now give an explanation on how an oxbow lake is formed.
An oxbow lake is a narrow U-shaped lake near a river. Its a meander that got cut off.
As erosion, continues, the neck of the meander is worn away. It gets narrower and narrower. Then, during flooding, the river takes a shortcut - straight across the neck. Soon the loop of the meander gets sealed off. It turns into an oxbow lake. In time, the lake will get covered with weeds, and fill with soil, and disappear.
Hope I helped (:
Have a great day!
