Answer:

The correct option is c.

Explanation:

Metabolism is a sum of anabolic and catabolic reactions. The body's inability to produce/synthesize enough insulin is the cause of type II diabetes. Generally, metabolism is the process in which most compounds (proteins, carbohydrates and lipids) are produced (anabolism) or broken down (catabolism) in the body. Insulin is a protein that can be produced in less amount due to metabolic disorder in the body.

Maria's disease means she already has an exponentially high amount of blood sugar against the required insulin to balance it out, hence the disease already slowed down her rate of metabolism (catabolism) of blood sugar EXCEPT she decides to increase of metabolism by medication and exercise.

a ball is projected upward at time t = 0.00 s from a point on a roof 70 m above the ground. The ball rises, then falls and strik

grin007 [14]

Answer: 17.68 s

Explanation:

This problem is a good example of Vertical motion, where the main equation for this situation is:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$y=0$ is the height of the ball when it hits the ground

$y_{o}=70 m$ is the initial height of the ball

$V_{o}=82m/s$ is the initial velocity of the ball

$t$ is the time when the ball strikes the ground

$g=9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due to gravity

Having this clear, let's find $t$ from (1):

$0=70m+(82m/s)t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^{2})t^{2}$ (2)

Rewritting (2):

$-\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^{2})t^{2}+(82m/s)t+70m=0$ (3)

This is a quadratic equation (also called equation of the second degree) of the form $at^{2}+bt+c=0$ , which can be solved with the following formula:

$t=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$ (4)

Where:

$a=-\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^{2}$

$b=82m/s$

$c=70m$

Substituting the known values:

$t=\frac{-82 \pm \sqrt{82^{2}-4(-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(70)}}{2a}$ (5)

Solving (5) we find the positive result is:

$t=17.68 s$

The sound from a bolt of lightning travelled 4.08 km in 12.0 s. What was the speed

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

83.67 m/s

Explanation:

Set up a calculation to convert units of measure to what you need.

You have km/s and you need m/s.

4.08km 1000 m 83.67m

----------- X ---------- = --------------- the km will cancel out and you are left

12.0 s 1 km s with m/s

2. Which statement is correct about the Krebs cycle?

IRINA_888 [86]

The correct option is

a. Acetyl-CoA combines with a pyruvic acid to make glucose in the Krebs cycle.

Explanation:

The Krebs citric acid cycle happens within the mitochondrial matrix and generates a pool of energy (ATP, NADH, and FADH2) from the oxidization of pyruvate, the tip product of metabolism. Pyruvate is transported into the mitochondria and loses dioxide to make acetyl-CoA, a 2-carbon molecule.
