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.

galben [10]

A DNA molecule consists of two stands of nucleotides that wind around each other like a twisted ladder with a phosphate and sugar backbone. The  nitrogenous bases are divided into two groups called the pyrimidines and the purines. The pyrimidines include the thymine and cytosine, the purines are adenine and guanine.  The nitrogenous bases in the double helix are bound together according to the base pairing rule. Adenine pairs with thymine (A-T) and guanine pairs with cytosine (G-C). The student either drew the base pairing showing adenine and thymine or guanine pairing with cytosine.
