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.

How do living things make use of the energy stored in food molecules?
ipn [44]
Answer:
             The energy stored in food molecule (glucose) is released in he process of respiration. 

Explanation:                     Respiration is a cellular process in which glucose molecule is broken down into carbon dioxide, water and ATP is produced as end product. Respiration consists of following main steps:
1. Glycolysis:                It occurs in the cytoplasm of cell, and each glucose molecule is converted into two pyruvates with help of ATP.
2. Formation of Acetyl coenzyme A:                                                        It is a connecting link reaction between glycolysis and Kreb cycle. In this phase Each pyruvate react with Coenzyme A to become acetyl coenzyme A.
3. Kreb Cycle:                   It occurs inside mitochondria. In this cycle each acetyl coenzyme A with fixed with CO to produce citrate which undergo in a cyclic reaction to produce ATP and NADH. . 
4. Electron transport chain:                                           It is the last step of respiration which complete in mitochondrial membrane. In this phase most of the energy is produced along with H₂O as by product.
