Answer: Preserve glucose dependent tissue.

Explanation: The body preserve the glucose dependent tissue because the brain uses glucose and ketone bodies as fuel for its working.

The glucose level in the body should not go below a certain level hence the body starts using fat derivatives.

In prolonged starvation the brain starts using the ketone bodies for its working but it can lead to ketonuria and ketone body excretion.

Hence, in case of starvation the body preserves the glucose-dependent tissues and shifts on other energy sources.

Meat is not a good source of protein because it does not provide the body with all the essential amino acids.
tankabanditka [31]

Answer: False.

Meat is a good source of protein. There are nine essential amino acids which are required under special conditions like illness.

These are-  Histidine, Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine, Threonine, Methionine, Lysine, Phenylalanine and Tryptophan. They cannot be synthesized by the body and therefore need to be taken from external protein sources.

Since meat contains all the essential amino acids, therefore it is considered as a good source of protein. Hence, the given statement is false.
