Answer:

E. Fat

Explanation:

Fats are the derivatives of fatty acids which in turn are the derivatives of hydrocarbons. The breaking down of long hydrocarbon chains by oxidation produces a large amount of energy. Fats serve as a stored form of energy. Oxidation of one gram of carbohydrates provides 4 kilocalories while the complete oxidation of one gram of fats provides 9 kilocalories. Similarly, the oxidation of one gram of protein provides 4 calories. This means that the oxidation of fats provides the largest amount of energy for the least amount of food.

The polypeptide encoded by the glucose carrier gene has a signal sequence. As a result, the ribosome and the polypeptide that is
olganol [36]

Answer:

The correct words for the three blanks are as follows:

1. Endoplasmic reticulum. 2. Golgi apparatus. 3. Facilitated diffusion.

Explanation:

During the translation stage of protein synthesis, signal sequences are either attached or excluded from a synthesized protein in order to indicate the right location it should be sent to. Proteins that possess signal sequences are usually sent to the endoplasmic reticulum, where they will be folded into their right shapes. From the endoplasmic reticulum the proteins are then transported into Golgi apparatus via membrane vesicles. In the Golgi apparatus, proteins undergo their final modifications before they are transported to their final destinations. The final destination of glucose carrier proteins is the plasma membrane, where they help glucose molecules to enter the cell via facilitated diffusion.
