Insulation and long-term energy storage

The function of FATS is insulation and long-term energy storage. Excess glucose in the body is converted to fats and then stored in certain location like liver, around the heart, and under the skin. The fats are converted back to glucose during starvation. Fats are deposited under the skin to provide insulation against heat loss.

Explanation:

Proteins are the mains structural molecules in the body. They are coded for by the DNA in cells that instruct how these proteins should be manufactured. Proteins make up the muscle tissues, most enzymes, antibodies, hormones, hair, nails, and etcetera. Protein is broken down for energy as a last resort during total starvation (when fat deposits have been exhausted) and when this happens it leads to body wastage. Glucose is the main energy source of cells.

What is the different between mechanical digestion and chemical digestion in the mouth?
Alborosie

Answer and Explanation:

The mouth is part of the digestion system.

Mechanical Digestion is the physical motion our mouth makes to chew up the food. We grind up the food with our teeth, then swallow the food into the next part of the digestive system.

Chemical Digestion in the mouth is the saliva our mouth produces. It breaks down the food along side the mechanical part of the mechanical digestion.

A dog breathes out CO2 and a tree releases O2. How are the dog and the tree connected in the oxygen cycle?
Hitman42 [59]
A dog breathes in oxygen and then releases carbon dioxide when he exhales. Conversely, a tree gives off oxygen and takes in carbon dioxide. So the breath of the dog sustains the tree while the output of oxygen for the tree sustains the dog.

What is the major difference between bacterial chromosomes and eukaryotic chromosomes?.
Sphinxa [80]

The major difference between bacterial chromosomes and eukaryotic chromosomes is that bacteria have a single circular chromosome whereas eukaryotes have several linear chromosomes.

Eukaryotic chromosomes are present within the nucleus while prokaryotic chromosomes are found in the nucleoid (a region of the cytoplasm). The nucleoid does not have a membrane.

In eukaryotic chromosomes, DNA is wrapped around histone proteins, which is further compacted by supercoiling and folding. However, in prokaryotic chromosomes, DNA is supercoiled and held together by nucleoid-associated proteins.

Prokaryotic chromosome is very simple in comparison to the eukaryotic one. Prokaryotic chromosome lack telomeres and centromeres sequences which is found in the eukaryotic chromosomes.

For each moleule of glucose that is metabolized by glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, what is the total number of NADH + FADH
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The answer is B- 12

Explanation:

The glycolysis of one glucose molecule produces two acetyl CoA molecules, the reactions in the glycolytic pathway and citric acid cycle produce six CO2 molecules, ten (10) NADH molecules, and two (2) FADH2 molecules per glucose molecule. Therefore the total number of NADH + FADH2 molecules produced is 12.
