Different organs have different energy and metabolic fuel requirements. Match the organs listed below with the fuel sources each

is able to utilize. Although fuel sources can change depending on the metabolic stage of the organism (e.g., starving vs. well-fed), here consider all potential fuel sources for each organ.A) Brain: B) Heart: C) Liver:

Answer:

Explanation:

brain-

Glucose is the major fuel for the brain metabolism to supply energy for synaptic transmissions. Average of -120g/day.However during hypoglacemia, keto bodies can be used by the brain for energy supply.

the fuel stores of the brain is very low because of high biochemical activities of the brain  which need to  be supplied with  contant fuel.Although it stores little Glycogen, most fuel supply to the brain is from the circulating glucose in the blood.

Heart.

the high  energy consuming  activities of the heart ensured that molecules with abundant energy supply e.g fatty acids from lipids digestion is preferred. Keto bodies, acetoacetate and lactate can also be fuel . Glucose is last on the scale of preference for the heart  as fuel.

It does not reserve or export any fuel.

Liver.

the complex metabolic  and multi functional activities  of the liver required constant supply of energy in all available forms. Thus  glucose, Amino acids and fatty acids are sources of fuel for the liver.

The liver fuel reserve is in the form of glycogen which is stimulated by glucagon to convert to glucose during condition of hypoglycemia. Triacylglycerols is another fuel reserve.

Generally as products of metabolic activities in the liver, fatty acid from lipid metabolisms, Glucose from gluconeogenesis, and glycogensis, and ketone bodies are the export sources.

The data obtained from the meselson–stahl experiment after one generation of replication eliminated the dispersive model of dna
Sedaia [141]
<h2>Given statement is false</h2>

Explanation:

According to dispersive model of DNA replication,DNA molecules are hybrids of parental and daughter DNA;In this model each individual strand is a combination of original and new DNA

Meselson and Stahl did an experiment on DNA replication using E.coli bacteria

  • E.coli was grown in a medium containing heavy isotope of nitrogen,bacteria took up the nitrogen and used to synthesize new biological molecules,including DNA
  • It was grown for many generations,the nitrogenous bases of the bacteria's DNA were all labelled with heavy nitrogen
  • Bacteria were then switched to light nitrogen isotope and allowed to grow for several generations
  • They then measured the density of the DNA using density gradient centrifugation
  • This method separates molecules such as DNA into bands by spinning them at high speeds in the presence of another molecule, such as cesium chloride
  • Each DNA produced two DNA molecules each with one new strand and one old strand called semi conservative replication(half of the parental DNA conserved in daughter DNA)
  • Each DNA strand act as a template for synthesis of new strand
  • Hence,dispersive model of DNA was eliminated and semi-conservative model of DNA replication was proved by the above experiment
