Answer: option B) False
Explanation:
The body relies on SEVERAL sources for its energy or glucose supply.
Firstly, understand that Glucose could be supplied from the following:
Glycogenolysis (Glycogen break down induced by Glucagon)
Amino acids metabolism (once amine group is removed)
Fatty acid oxidation.
All of the pathways mentioned can directly or indirectly yeild GLUCOSE, thus making it UNNECESSARY for Carbohydrate meals to be consumed every 3 to 4 hours.
Therefore, the answer is False
Answer:
Incorrects:
Claim 1: When forests are cleared, we take away an opportunity to remove carbon from the atmosphere.
Claim 2: Carbon moves through biological systems and returns to the atmosphere through photosynthesis.
Claim 3: The amount of carbon involved in rapid cycling is much less than 1 percent of the total amount of carbon on Earth.
Explanation:
- The carbon contained in forest products makes a small and manageable contribution to the global carbon balance. Globally, the net effect on atmospheric concentration is negligible, unless the rate of decomposition in geographically displaced product stocks is different from that in the forest ecosystem from which it was removed. However, controlling these rates through proper management can lead to some degree of mitigation of increases in atmospheric CO2.
- During the carbon cycle, animals and plants release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere through cellular respiration, and plants capture carbon dioxide through photosynthesis.
- The amount of carbon involved in rapid cycling it is the largest since it includes the carbon exchange between living beings, and is intertwined with the carbon cycle through long-term geological processes
Answer:
Esta afirmación es correcta ya que la ley de conservación de la energía es también aplicable a sistemas vivos
Explanation:
La ley de la conservación de la energía (la cual es la primera ley de la termodinámica) indica que la energía no se puede crear ni se puede destruir, solamente se transforma, de un tipo a otro. La ley de la conservación de la energía es de vital importancia para entender la existencia del mundo natural. En ecología, la energía fluye de un nivel trófico a otro en forma de biomasa, es decir, dentro de la cadena alimentaria. Esta energía no se puede crear ni destruir sino que es almacenada en los organismos, los cuales representan sistemas abiertos que intercambian materia y energía con el medio. Una vez dentro del organismo, una parte de esta energía es transformada (en plantas, por ejemplo, la energía es convertida en enlaces químicos durante la síntesis de carbohidratos), mientras que otra parte de la energía se elimina al exterior (por ejemplo, se disipa en forma de calor), pero la energía no se crea ni se destruye.
