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.

Many factors determine the health of an aquatic ecosystem. Which choice list only abiotic factors?
Rashid [163]
Abiotic factors are the greater part of the non-living things in a biological community. Both biotic and abiotic factors are identified with each other in a biological community, and in the event that one component is changed or expelled, it can influence the whole environment. Abiotic variables are particularly vital on the grounds that they specifically influence how living beings survive.
