When carbohydrate consumption exceeds the body's immediate needs for energy, glycogenesis ____________ .
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

When carbohydrate consumption exceeds the body's immediate needs for energy, glycogenesis  decreases.

The process of conversation of stored glycogen in the liver and muscles  to glucose is Glycogenesis. It takes place when the blood glucose drops,below certain levels and the body cells need glucose for biochemical activities.Therefore, when there are excess CHO consumption,more glucose would be in the blood,and thus no need for glycogenesis.(breakdown of glycogen)

Glycogen storage space in the liver and muscles is limited. When glycogen stores are full, use of glucose for energy __Increases__________ and oxidation of fat for energy ___decreases_________ .

Definitely, this is a simple logic.As the storage for glycogen is limited,excess glucose  move into the blood, since they can not be converted to glycogen.The glucose is expended through cellular reduce the amount in the blood. Therefore, Gluconeogenesis, the production of glucose from non-CHO substances drops. Hence beta- oxidation drops.

Overall, when carbohydrate intake is excessive, lipogenesis increases.The process of converting excess CHO to fatty acids.Biochemically it is the process of converting the Carbon precursor of acetyl co -A to fatty acids.Therefore this increases to synthesized more fatty acids from CHO

Besides genetics, what other variable has an influence on the variations within a species?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Besides Genetics, variation within species can be caused by environmental factors.

<u>EXPLANATION: </u>

Variation means difference in cells or organisms of one species. It can be caused by genetic variations or by environmental variations like climate, food supply or even actions of organisms. These changes are not hereditary and may not necessarily be passed onto coming generations of that species.

Some individuals of the population might be able to survive the changes in the environment. These environmental factors affect the phenotype of the population and it is also called phenotypic variation. Height, weight, color of hair, etc. are phenotype of an organism.
