Answer:

Aerobic respiration, Anaerobic respiration in yeast, Anaeorbic respiration in muscles.

Explanation:

1) Aerobic respiration: In this case pyruvate is broken down into water and carbon dioxide along with release of energy. It commonly occurs in mitochondria of cells.

2) Anaerobic respiration in yeast: In yeast cells during fermentation pyruvate is converted into ethanol and C02 in the absence of 02.

3) Anaeorbic respiration in muscles: Due to lack of oxygen, eg. during vigorous running or exercise, in human muscles, pyruvate is converted to lactic acid.

Carbohydrates, carbohydrates, carbohydrates or saccharides are biomolecules composed mainly of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, although some of them also contain other bioelements such as nitrogen, sulfur and phosphorous. The main functions of carbohydrates in living beings are to provide immediate energy (not in vain they are the main source of energy, through an oxidation process, in most non-photosynthetic cells), as well as a structural function

Animals store most of their excess energy reserves as _______ because

USPshnik [31]

The answer to this question would be: <span>B) fat; they store twice as much energy per gram. </span>

Fat can be converted into much more calorie than glucose or protein. Glucose and protein rate would be 4kcal/grams but fat can give 9kcal/grams which were about 2 times more.
But carbohydrate would be the primary source of energy in the human diet. If the energy is more than the body needs, it will be converted into fat.

Why would a drug that damages capsids help treat a viral infection?

Natasha_Volkova [10]

The correct answer is D. Without capsids, viruses could not replicate

Explanation:

A viral infection is caused as a virus enters the body and this replicates inside it by using the host's cells. This is possible through the capsid which is an external layer in the virus that provides protection to it and helps the virus replicate because the capsid is essential for the virus to attach and penetrate the host's cells to replicate. According to this, if a drug damages the capsids the virus could not replicate and this should or reduce the infection caused by the virus. Thus, a drug that damages capsids helps treat a viral infection because "without capsids, viruses could not replicate".
