A person has entered a hunger strike. After 60 days of starvation, this person is on the edge of dying. What is likely to be the
cause of death?a. too many ketone bodies in the blood, which causes ketoacidosisb. lack of oxygen in the body for oxidative metabolismc. shut down of gluconeogenesis in the liverd. the breakdown of essential proteins of the brain and hearte. exhaustion of fat from adipose tissue
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.
A strand of DNA having base sequence as ATG CGA. The complementary strand of DNA will be produced with base sequence as TAC GCT. In the double strand DNA nitrogenous bases paired in a specific manner, A (Adenine)always pair with T (Thymine) with double hydrogen bond or vice-versa and C (Cytosine) pair with G (guanine) with triple hydrogen bond or vice-versa.
