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 attachment of nucleotides to form a complementary strand of DNA during replication
olga2289 [7]

Answer: is accomplished by DNA polymerase.

Explanation: DNA polymerase is an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of a complementary strand of a DNA molecule during replication. The double stranded DNA helix is first unwind by the enzyme known as helicase giving rise to two DNA strands which serve as templates for replication. DNA polymerase then binds to a primer, a short nucleotide sequence and catalyzes the attachment of nucleotides to the primer to form a growing strand that is complementary to the parent DNA.

In almost all criminal cases, eyewitnesses are used in order to build a case for someone’s innocence or guilt. Should eyewitness
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

No never.

There is a famous psychology experiment where people sit in classroom in such a way that the person on either side of you can't hear what you say. This works best with more than 20 people.

The first person composes a sentence that has 3 facts in it. He whispers it to the second person who relays it to the third until the last person is told. The point of the experiment is to show that the last person isn't normally able to correctly repeat the 3 facts. In fact, most often what is given is quite mixed up and incorrect.

That's what's wrong with eye witness accounts. You can be certain of what you saw. You can also get it all mixed up.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]
<span>Carnivorous plants have evolved mechanisms that trap and digest small animals. The products of this digestion are used to supplement the plant's supply of "minerals". Carnivorous plants are a specialized group of plants that grow in wet, acidic soils. Plants must obtain the mineral nutrients from their growing medium.</span>
