Answer:

Letter b. Gluconeogenesis

Explanation:

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.

Yuri [45]

Answer:

All early vertebrate embryos develop tails and gill slits, and therefore this type of anatomical evidence supports common ancestry  

Explanation:

Embryology is a discipline that studies the structural/anatomical features and development of embryos. Embryos are a fundamental piece of evidence to support common ancestry among vertebrates because there are homologous structural features that can only be observed during the first stages of vertebrate development. For example, all vertebrate embryos (e.g., fish, chicken and human embryos), develop tails and gill slits during their first stages of embryo development. In consequence, embryology provides evidence for evolution of vertebrates.
