The correct answer is glucose. 

Glucose is the major carbohydrate that can be absorbed and used by humans for energy. In animals, glucose is stored as glycogen in the liver and the muscle tissue in contrast to plants wherein they store glucose as amylose and amylopectin (also known as starch). In digestion of starch, it will start with the saliva where the enzyme salivary amylase will break it down to smaller molecules of starch and limit dextrins. These will be further broken down in the intestines using the pancreatic amylase forming di and trisaccharides. These di and trisaccharides will be metabolized by brush border enzyme to eventually produce glucose (and other monosaccharides that can be absorbed such as fructose and galactose).

IrinaK [193]
The answer is that Both aid in the expansion and relaxation of lungs. Diaphragm and the rib muscles are vital in the breathing process. During inhalation the intercostal muscles contract, expanding the ribcage, the diaphragm contracts, pulling downwards to increase the volume of the chest, pressure inside the chest is lowered and air is sucked into the lungs. During exhalation the intercostal muscles relax, the ribcage drops inward and downwards, the diaphragm relaxes, moving back upwards, decreasing the volume of the chest, the pressure inside the chest increases and air is forced out.

Dual innervation refers to an organ receiving A) both sensory and motor nerves.B) both sympathetic and parasympathetic innervati
Talja [164]

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Explanation:

Dual innervation is a biochemical process by which an organ receives two different types of stimulation simultaneously. The principal function of dual innervation is to maintain the homeostatic balance of the body system. Dual innervation is brought about by two different systems, the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nerve systems. Although the actions of these two nerve systems are opposites to one another, they work together to bring balance to the body system. Without dual innervation the homeostatic system of the body can not be maintained.
