The right answer is A. Hardness.

The hardness of a material defines the resistance of a surface of the sample to the penetration of a punch, for example a hardened steel ball (Brinell hardness) or a diamond pyramid (Vickers hardness). If it resists well, it is said hard, otherwise it is soft. The hardness is measured on different scales depending on the type of material considered.

Unlike minerals whose hardness is characterized by scratching (Mohs scale), bounce or penetration tests are usually used to characterize the hardness of metals, plastics and elastomers. These tests have the advantage of being simpler to perform and give reproducible results. There is a wide variety of possible hardness tests, they are widely used in quality control to compare or estimate the strength or stiffness of materials.

Triacylglycerols (tags) represent a major store of energy, allowing survival for up to several months under starvation condition
Effectus [21]

Answer: To compensate for low concentrations of carbohydrates, the body hydrolyzes TAGs to free fatty acids and glycerol, the latter of which is provided in ample supply to feed the -citric acid cycle.

<span>When the body is under starvation condition, low concentration of carbohydrates occurs, then the body hydrolyzes triacylglycerols to fatty acids and ketone bodies. Moreover, the acetyl CoA cannot be transformed into pyruvate so fatty acids cannot be converted into glucose. The other potential source of glucose is amino acids but this process is inherently inefficient and weakens the body so protein must be preserve.</span>
