Biology

Shalnov [3]3 years ago

Answer:

The burning of wood and the burning of food calories produce carbon dioxide and heat. The calory burning gives energy to the body but in wood burning only wood becomes a carbon compound i.e. ash.

Explanation:

The burning of wood and the burning of calories release carbon dioxide and heat. In the body, oxygen breaks down the food calories and produces CO2 which release from the body by exhalation. The heat produced by food burning causes sweating. Oxygen also helps in burning of wood. In this way the food calory burning and wood burning are similar.  

In calory burning the complex food becomes simpler and helps in tissue metabolism. In wood burning atmospheric oxygen helps in burning, and they release other gases like carbon monoxide, nitrogen to the environment which is not happening in case of metabolism. The complete burning of wood results in carbon compounds. In calories burning excess energy is stored in the form of fat. Because food calories are nothing but energy derive from different food.

Similarity: both burnings lead to energy production and both result in CO2 emission.
difference: food is burned in the process called cellular respiration. this process consists of a few certain stages preventing our body from heat shock.

How does the response to acetylcholine in the presence of nifedipine compare to the response to acetylcholine without nifedipine

Where does the waste material in the body come from and why does the body need to get rid of these waste materials?
Marizza181 [45]
"Waste" -- in the form of urine and feces -- how the body removes the parts of food we ingest that is not used for nutrition and also is a way to rid the body of toxins. The kidneys filter the blood, removing "waste" products such as excess vitamins or drugs (this is why your urine can have a bright color if you take high doses of vitamin c) and liquid waste is held in the bladder before being released. Food travels through the gut to be digested -- broken down into usable bits and waste. After breaking down in the stomach, the material travels through the small and large intestines. The small intestine is lined with villi -- tiny protrusions that add surface area so nutrients can be absorbed into the bloodstream. In the large intestine and colon, water is pulled from the mass so it becomes more solid. Eventually the solidified waste passed through the rectum and out the anus as feces. The build-up of waste in the body can itself be toxic -- if the kidneys do not function properly to clean the waste out, the buildup can be fatal. When the body goes into emergency mode to eliminate a toxic substance -- such as e. Coli in the case of food poisoning -- the intestines don't both absorbing water and the result is the liquid fecal matter being quickly passed through and ejected as diarrhea.
