Answer:

The correct answer is: A) a pregnant woman.

Explanation:

Bodybuilders in particular need the lower body fat percentage possible in order to succeed in their career, since most of their bodies must be muscle. Professional ballet dancers need to be light and skinny to be able to perform their dance moves and to be lifted by their partners; a basketball player also needs a lower fat percentage and a higher muscle mass percentage to be able to play at his best; and a ranch hand as well needs to not be packing that much fat in order to make his job easier.

Pregnant women, however, need body fat to have healthy pregnancies. This doesn't mean that they do not need to take care of themselves, because a higher body fat than what it's needed can lead to diabetes, high blood pressure and can difficult the pregnancy.

saveliy_v [14]
<span>If there is not enough carbohydrate available in cells to allow the acetyl-CoA to enter the citric acid cycle, it will be used to make ketones. Acetyl-CoA is a molecule that is important in some biochemical reactions involving protein lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. It function to transport an acetyl group to the citric acid cycle or the Krebs cycle for it to be oxidized for the production of energy. Ketone can be produced and is regulated from the acetyl-CoA. The rate of the production of this substance  would increase during starvation or in other words there is less carbohydrates that is available in the body.</span>

DNA strand replication begins with an RNA primer. DNA strand replication begins with an RNA primer. True False
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

DNA synthesis is performed by the enzyme DNA polymerase. However, DNA polymerase requires the presence of a free 3' OH on the existing DNA or RNA segment. The enzyme primase forms small RNA segments that serve as primers. Primers are formed by using the DNA template strands and have free 3' OH ends. DNA polymerase extends the primers by adding deoxyribonucleotides according to the sequence of the DNA template strand. Therefore, DNA polymerases are the enzymes of primer elongation.
