Answer:

β-oxidation and gluconeogenesis

Explanation:

This 22-year-old woman, by not eating her food for a long time, entered a period of prolonged fasting.

Which there are no glycogen reserves, since they were depleted and neither were glucose assimilations by the cells because the person only ingested water.

Prolonged fasting is extremely dangerous because fatty tissues are degraded resulting in ketone bodies that are considered toxic and cross the blood-brain barrier.

Once the fat tissue reserve is completely finished, the body will enter into proteolysis of the body's own structural proteins in order to obtain energy, this is how the phenomenon of abrupt consumption of muscle tissue occurs.

what's the difference between these- single or multiple genes, and dominant, recessive or sex-linked genes
Veseljchak [2.6K]
A single gene disorder is one that's known to be caused by a single gene. Multiple gene disorders, however, can be caused by multiple gene combinations and other factors. Dominant genes are always expressed in the offspring, while recessive genes are only expressed if the offspring recieves the recessive gene from both parents. Sex-linked genetic disorders occur most often in men, and are caused by a single-gene disorder gene being on the X chromosome but not the Y, so that the offspring needs only one recessive gene to have the trait/disorder.

netineya [11]

Answer:

Option D, Five radish plants are grown in sunlight, while another five radish plants are kept in the dark.

In a controlled experiment, impact of one independent variable is studied on the dependent variable.  

Here in this study sunlight is the independent variable while the radish plant is dependent variable.  

The researcher wants to study the effect of sunlight on radish plants when they are exposed to it   and compare it to the effect created on radish plants  that are kept in dark.  

Hence option D is correct.

Identify the sentence that describes a characteristic of the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents have an effect on climate and weath
ch4aika [34]
The answer is Because of to Earth’s rotation, the winds are deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. Coriolis effect causes the horizontal deflection effect, due to the rotating motion of the earth, to be felt more as you go closer to the poles and to decrease as you move near the equator. This same force is responsible for the rotation of large cyclones.
