I lost a brain cell reading this . Can someone please help!! I will give brainliest :)))

Carbohydrate loading maximizes the amount of which substance stored in skeletal muscles?

Romashka [77]

Answer:

The correct answer is d. glycogen

Explanation:

Carbohydrate loading is a very common practice in athletes. It consists of eating carbohydrate-rich food specially before doing exercise. This practice maximizes the stored quantities of glycogen- polysacharide of storing of glucose- in muscle and liver.

in experiment 1, which of the following factors was systematically changed so that its effects could be observed? A.light intens

Stels [109]

Explanation:

<u>A.light intensity</u>

<u />

6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Carbon dioxide + water + energy= glucose + oxygen

At the compensation point, the rate of CO2 production by respiration matches the rate of CO2 utilization in photosynthesis- there is no net CO2 production . Since photosynthesis is rate limited, the rate of energy intake can be reduced in order to reach the compensation point; lowering the light intensity would slow the rate of photolysis and thus photosynthesis. Similarly, an increase in light intensity

increases the rate of photosynthesis- the CO2 level would be reduced as more inorganic CO2 is fixed, together with producing O2 as waste.
would increase the temperature of the environment- light energy is converted to heat energy which increases temperature.
lead to higher levels of humidity- the heightened temperature increases the rate of evaporation of water from tissues, and thus increases the humidity (water vapor content of the surrounding air)

Further Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a chemical pathway that’s integral to producing energy in plants and other primary producers. Energy in the form of molecules of glucose is produced from light, water and carbon dioxide while oxygen is released. This occurs in several complex steps, photosynthesis is a rate limited reaction, depends on several factors including carbon dioxide concentration, ambient temperature and light intensity; the energy is retrieved from photons, I.e. particles of light, and water is used as a reducing agent. This occurs in the thykaloids, where pigment molecules like chlorophyll reside.

Occuring in several complex steps, photosynthesis is a rate limited reaction, depends on several factors including carbon dioxide concentration, ambient temperature and light intensity; the energy is retrieved from photons, I.e. particles of light, and water is used as a reducing agent. Water supplies the chlorophyll in plant cell with replacement electrons for the ones removed from photosystem II.

Additionally, water (H2O) split by light during photolysis into H+ and OH- acts as a source of oxygen along with functioning as a reducing agent; it reduces the molecule NADP to NADPH by providing H+ ions and produces molecules of the energy storage molecule ATP through an electron transport chain. This occurs in the thykaloids, where pigment molecules like chlorophyll reside. Later, in dark reactions, NADP and NADPH are used in the Calvin cycle where monosaccharides or sugars like glucose are produced after the modification of several molecules. These store energy in their bonds, which can be released in respiration in the mitochondria.

A 30-year-ol of HIV with a CD4 cell count of 120 cells (normal, 1000–1500). He had an ulcerating lesion on the side of his tongu

Lady_Fox [76]

HIV is the human immunodeficiency virus. Causer of AIDS, it attacks the immune system, responsible for defending the body from diseases. The most affected cells are CD4+ T lymphocytes. And it is by altering the DNA of that cell that HIV makes copies of itself.

<h3>1. Discuss the pathophysiology of HIV in relation to the reduction of CD4 cells</h3>

HIV binds to a component of that cell's membrane, CD4, penetrating its interior to multiply. As a result, the defense system gradually loses the ability to respond properly, making the body more vulnerable to disease.

<h3>2. Discuss the body's immune response to the virus (HIV)</h3>

The innate immune responses to HIV infection are mainly the intense production of cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-1 and interferon (IFN)-1, and the activation of natural killer (NK) cells, which can temporarily control HIV replication. through apoptosis of infected cells

<h3>3. Explain the molecular and cellular immune response that leads to the swollen lesion.</h3>

due to the accumulation of primary immune cells and the body's long attempt to fight the infection

<h3>4. Discuss the cellular and molecular immune response that results in enlargement of the spleen and cervical lymph nodes</h3>

An infection from bacteria and viruses, including HIV, can cause swelling of the lymph nodes. The swelling occurs because the infection reaches the nodes through lymph fluid. HIV most often affects lymph nodes around the neck as well as in the armpits and groin.
