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.

A detailed comparison between all of the above details of photosynthesis to the process or subject of your choice?For example if we are going to do cake we are going to need to get all the ingredients so we could start baking when we start mixing the ingredients the cake is almost ready to be baked. We then put it to a pan and put it in the oven to start to bake, And then we have cake. This is like the process of photosynthesis because photosynthesis takes in sun light and then converts oxygen to glucose. The Cake takes in its ingredients and then it gets bake and it gives us energy

A fossil was found and determined by radiometric dating to be 11,400 years old. what is the ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 in t
LuckyWell [14K]

The answer would be 25%

Carbon 14 is radioactive material with 5700 year of half-time which will change it into carbon-12, a more stable substance. If the age of the fossil is 11,400 years old, then the amount of half-time passed would be: 11,400 years/ (5,700years/ half-time)= 2 half-time.

Since it undergo 2 half-time, the percentage should be: 100% * (1/2)^2= 25%
