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.

What are the major classes of lipids​
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

phospholipids, sterols, and triglycerides

Explanation:

Phospholipids make up the outermost layer of cells in the bodies of both animals and humans. They create a protective layer around the cells to help maintain them.

Sterols are a subset of steroids, a type of hormone.

Triglycerides are the fats and oils that you are familiar with in foods. This type of lipid can be saturated or unsaturated, which is part of what makes them solid or liquid, respectively, at room temperature.

How do scientist use layers of rock to determine when the Great Oxidation event occured?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Using the concept of relative dating

Explanation:

Scientists use the concept of relative dating principles to determine when the Great Oxidation event occurred.

Relative dating is the process of placing ancient event in their proper time sequence based on the relationship between rock lithologies.

  • An event like the great oxidation will have significant chemical, biological and physical effect on the rock units.
  • Rocks that form during this period in time will have very unique chemical signatures.
  • Therefore, by studying these rocks, the age of the layer can be fixed when we compare it to the standard geological column.
