Answer:

A final conclusion is not possible from this information

Explanation:

In mammals, the thyroid is an endocrine gland composed of two lobes that are connected by a bridge of tissue referred to as thyroid isthmus. The thyroid gland produces different types of hormones including calcitonin, triiodothyronine and thyroxine. These hormones are known to increase basal metabolism and thus affect metabolic-associated mechanisms including appetite, nutrient absorption and gut motility. However, thyroid hormones are not directly associated with the growth rate. It is important to note that the growth hormones are synthesized by the pituitary gland.

Suppose that an adult black bear adds 50 pounds of fat in order to survive while hibernating through the winter. how much glycog

NemiM [27]

Answer: The correct answer would be 112.5 pounds

Explanation:

Let us first covert the pound into grams. We know that 1 pound is equal to 453.59 grams.

Thus, 50 pound of fat = 50 x 453.59 = 22,679.5 grams.

We know that, 1 gram of fat releases 9 Kcal of energy. Thus, total energy produced by 22679.5 grams = 9 x 22679.5 = 204,115.5 Kcal

Glycogen is carbohydrate thus, it will produce 4 Kcal of energy per gram.

Thus, 4 x C = 204,115.5 (where C is the grams of glycogen)

⇒ C = $\frac{204115.5}{4}$

⇒ C = 51,028.875 grams

Using 1 pound = 453.59 grams, we con convert 51,028.875 grams into pounds:

453.59 = 1

1 = $\frac{1}{453.59}$

51,028.875 = $\frac{1}{453.59} x 51028.875$

= 112.5 pounds

Thus, 112.5 pound of glycogen would be needed to produce the same amount of energy as produced by 50 pounds of fat.
