Answer: option D - the breakdown of essential proteins of the brain and heart

Explanation:

During starvation (food deprivation), the body cells begins to utilize the glycogen reserves in the liver and muscle. Then, it switches to the fats (stored in the adipose tissues).

If starvation persists, the body turns to the proteins for energy derivation. At this stage, the person's DYING STATE is usually visible because the muscles of the body shrinks greatly.

Note that DEATH set in when essential proteins of the BRAIN and HEART are metabolized to produce energy due to the vital functions both organs do in the overall body processes.

<h3>What is evolution?</h3>

Evolution is the shift in a biological population's heritable traits over successive generations. These traits are the result of genes that are expressed during reproduction and transferred from parent to offspring. Mutation, genetic recombination, and other causes of genetic diversity frequently result in different traits existing within a population. When these variations are subjected to evolutionary processes like natural selection (which includes sexual selection) and genetic drift, specific traits within a population start to become more or less prevalent. This is when evolution happens.

1. How is it possible for a phospholipid to be hydrophilic and hydrophobic? (2)<br> 1
swat32
Phospholipids consist of a glycerol molecule, two fatty acids, and a phosphate group that is modified by an alcohol. The phosphate group is the negatively-charged polar head, which is hydrophilic. The fatty acid chains are the uncharged, nonpolar tails, which are hydrophobic.
