Answer:

option c punctuated equilibrium

Explanation:

Punctuated equilibrium occurs in a process whereby evolutionary changes occurs in some organisms in a rapid burst of time rather the conceived gradual changes that occurs over a long period of time. this burst of time might be in about 500,000 years. It is assumed that the organism has maintained/lives in stasis for a long period without a need for change, but then, once the change takes place (most of the time, due to an environmental factor), the organism quickly adapts to its new environment with this new adaptation.

Forming glycogen as energy storage in the liver is an example of ________.
lorasvet [3.4K]

Forming glycogen as energy storage in the liver is an example of anabolism.

<h3>What is anabolism?</h3>

Anabolism is a metabolic process that consists of the construction and manufacture of more complex molecules from simpler molecules. This contributes to cell growth and energy storage for tissue maintenance.

The process of anabolism can be seen in processes such as the formation of triglycerides or glycogen for energy reserves within cells or in the formation of muscle proteins, given in the sports world.

In these anabolic processes, a lot of energy is consumed since much more complex molecules are being manufactured.

It is a totally opposite and complementary process to catabolism, in which these complex molecules are broken down into much simpler molecules and the release of energy is generated.

For a correct homeostasis of the body, these two processes have to be balanced and work in a <u>complementary way.</u>

Therefore, we can confirm that forming glycogen as energy storage in the liver is an example of anabolism.
