Answer:

Vitamin C

Explanation:

Vitamin C is known as the ascorbic acid performs various functions in humans and is present as the constituent of the skin epidermis.

Vitamin C protects the skin from photodamage caused by the harmful UV radiations and helps in the synthesis of collagen, a type of connective tissue in the human body. Vitamin C is involved in the hydroxylation of collagen synthesis which is important for the support of the epidermis and extracellular stability.

The deficiency of Vitamin C causes scurvy characterized y the fragility of blood vessels and bleeding.

Thus, Vitamin C is the correct answer.

Mammals store Extra glucose in the form of a compound called glycogen. What molecule supplies the energy needed to join glucose
bekas [8.4K]

ATP is the molecule that supplies the energy needed to join glucose molecules together to form a molecule of glycogen.

Explanation:

ATP is the energy currency of cells. It is used to power all non-spontaneous biochemical reactions in the body including the conversion of glucose to glycogen.

Glycogen has a higher Gibbs free energy than glucose (because it lowers entropy) meaning you need energy to convert glucose to glycogen. This reaction does not occur spontaneously because of it akin to ‘climbing a hill’. ATP is involved in the condensation reaction of joining glucose molecules together into glycogen via glycosidic bonds.

Changes in the gene pool can occur due to various mechanisms. From 1892 to 1954, millions of individuals emigrated (moved out) f
NNADVOKAT [17]
The mechanism that affected the gene pool of the immigrants that entered the United states Through Ellis Island is Gene flow.

Gene flow involves the movement of genes or alleles between interbreeding populations of a particular species. In other words it is the movement of genes from one population to another population. Actually it may be an important aspect of evolution; evolution can occur as a result of genes being transferred from one population to another. Gene flow occurs when there is migration, since the loss or addition of people can easily change pool frequencies even without no other evolutionary mechanisms operating.
