A person has been lost in the woods for approximately 6 days, 5 of which the person hasn't eaten. At this pointing her blood glu
cose levels are still 65mg/mL. Which of the following is contributing the most to maintaining her blood glucose level? a. Ingested glucose
b. Gluconeogenesis
c. Glycogenolysis
Immediately after eating we use the sugars in the food and utilize for energy and last a couple of hours. After that and about 15 hours later our body uses the energy stored in the liver in the form of glycogen, a process called glycogenolysis, that is the action of breaking the glycogen to free the energy. After 24 hours, the body starts to use another molecule for energy like fatty acids and start to synthesize glucose from other precursors, this process is called gluconeogenesis, and fuels the vital organs like the brain to maintain its function.
Expansion and Contraction of underneath or base water
Explanation:
When ice lands on a road, it weakens the soil beneath the pavement, cement by expansion. The slight varying temperatures that leads to the combination of contraction and expansion affects road this leading to potholes on road.
The correct answer among the choices provided is option C. Water helps to maintain the structure, flexibility and motion of proteins. Hydration makes the protein structure more packed and stabilized. It is because water is included in many networks of hydrogen bonds.
