A person who sprints for 45 seconds obtains most of his or her energy from _______. multiple choice
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

A person who sprints for 45 seconds will obtain most of his or her energy from muscle glycogen.

<h3>Energy metabolism during sprints</h3>

During sprinting or highly intense exercise activities, blood glucose is rapidly consumed. Rapid consumption of blood glucose may breach the blood glucose set point.

In order to maintain blood glucose homeostasis, glucose stored as glycogen in the muscles is converted back to glucose. The glucose is then utilized to produce ATP for the sprint or exercise.

Thus, a person who sprints for 45 seconds will have to obtain most of their energy from the glycogen stored in the muscles.

Transposable elements make up 44% of the human genome. What is thought to be their function?
AfilCa [17]

Transposable elements are considered to be responsible for vast range of genome diversity and gene silencing.

Explanation:

Transposable elements are short sequences of DNA that have the ability to move from one location to another in the genome. During this process they copy themselves.

The entire process carried out by transposable elements to copy themselves and move from one location to another is called transposition.

Transposition may result in mutation and is potentially a major source of genome diversity and change. If a transposon inserts itself into the coding region of a gene,it interrupts the coding sequence and inactivates the gene expression.

In addition to this, a transposable element may contain transcription or translation termination signal that will block the gene expression downstream of insertion site.
