<span>Food energy comes mainly from carbohydrates, protein, and fat from the food humans eat. Food energy usually comes from carbohydrates and fats rather than proteins. Energy is usually consumed because of various metabolic and enzymatic processes; and any excess in energy is stored as fat (in adipose tissue) and glycogen (in the liver and in muscles). Food energy that are not used are lost as heat<span>.

</span><span><em>Producing heat is not actually a byproduct of the inefficiency of metabolism. Heat is actually used to maintain core body temperature to make sure that thermosensitive enzymatic processes are not inhibited.</em></span></span>

Answer:

Heat

Explanation:

  • To obtain the energy from food and store it as either fat or glycogen a series of metabolic chemical reactions take place in the cells of the organism.
  • During this chemical reaction, a large amount of heat is also produced that is either used to maintain the core temperature of the body which is an essential requirement or is lost through the skin to the environment.
  • This is the reason why the energy conversion is not 100% efficient because heat losses are always there.
  • It is estimated that around 75% of the energy that is obtained from food is lost as heat and only 25% gets stored.

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

b. reducing molecules

Explanation:

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (abbreviated NAD +, and also called diphosphopyridine nucleotide and Coenzyme I), is a coenzyme found in all living cells. The compound is a dinucleotide, as it consists of two nucleotides linked through their phosphate groups with a nucleotide that contains an adenosine ring and the other that contains nicotinamide.

In metabolism, NAD + participates in redox reactions (oxidoreduction), carrying electrons from one reaction to another.

Coenzyme, therefore, is found in two forms in cells: NAD + and NADH. NAD +, which is an oxidizing agent, accepts electrons from other molecules and becomes reduced, forming NADH, which can then be used as a reducing agent to donate electrons. These electron transfer reactions are the main function of NAD +. However, it is also used in other cellular processes, especially as a substrate for enzymes that add or remove chemical groups of proteins, in post-translational modifications. Due to the importance of these functions, the enzymes involved in the metabolism of NAD + are targets for drug discovery.

Apple maggots are a type of fly native to North America. Prior to the introduction of the apple tree to North America, apple mag
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

B is the most likely consequence because of the following facts we are told:

  • After apple trees were introduced, some apple maggots began feeding from and laying their eggs on apple trees
  • Adult apple maggots will only mate on the type of tree on which they were born.

This provides a geographical isolation (because they are feeding and laying eggs on separate trees) and reproductive isolation (because they will only mate on the type of tree on which they are born).

These two factors increase the chances that apple maggots feeding on apple trees will only encounter those who have mated on the same tree, and continue to mate this way. Over time, the populations (i.e. apple tree vs hawthorn tree) will intermix less and less. This will mean the genetic pool will become distinct, and natural selection will be acting differently (different habitats and different genes), encouraging speciation.

A computer simulation showing models of planes crashing is a good way to study the effects of plane safety.why?
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Flight simulators are widely used for pilot training in the aviation industry, military pilot training, simulation of disasters or failures in flight, and aircraft development.

These simulations are used for pilot training, whose essential function is to train the crew in normal, abnormal and emergency procedures, before and during flight, practicing innumerable situations, such as: failures in electronic systems, loss of power, tailwinds and many others, which cannot be done safely with an aircraft in real situations. Explains to the new pilots the movements and attitudes of the ships, becoming a fundamental part of the training, saving lives and large economic losses.

These simulations allow knowing the causes of each plane crash in order to modify the operating procedures and training, so that its repetition is avoided. Flight safety investigations are complex and analyze numerous factors, and rather than investigating the persons responsible, it tries to find out the causes of the incident, considering human factors and technical issues.
