Energy Storage in Humans Free glucose in blood has 4 kilocalories per gram, 40 kilocalories of energy storage, and a few minutes

of life support time. Glycogen has 4 kilocalories per gram, 600 to 1600 kilocalories of energy storage, and 1 day of life support time. Lipids have 9 kilocalories per gram, 100,000 kilocalories of energy storage, and 30 to 40 days of life support time. What is the best conclusion based on this data? Blood is a primary location for energy storage. Fat molecules contain more energy-containing bonds than simple sugars. A gram of glycogen has twice as much energy as a gram of fat. The human body stores approximately 1,000 kcal of glucose.

Answer:

Fat molecules contain more energy-containing bonds than simple sugars.

Explanation:

Lipids are a large group of mostly non-polar hydrophobic hydrocarbons. They include fats and oils, waxes, phospholipids and steroids. They serve many functions in living organisms such as energy storage molecules, information molecules, insulation against cold in some animals etc.

From the information provided above, lipids have 9 kilocalories per gram, 100,000 kilocalories of energy storage, and 30 to 40 days of life support time. When energy provided per gram by lipids is compared with that of either glucose or glycogen, lipids provide more than twice the energy of that of glucose or glycogen. Similarly, the energy storage capacity of lipids over 1000 times that of glucose and 50 times that of glycogen. Therefore, fat molecules (an example of lipids) contain more energy-containing bonds than simple sugars (e.g. glucose)

<h2>Messenger RNA </h2>

Explanation:

Messenger RNA results from the breakage and recombining of DNA strands that is known as transcription

  • Transcription always starts at a specific site called promoter
  • Promoter are specific sites on DNA where RNA Polymerase binds and initiates transcription
  • Synthesis of RNA occurs in 5'-3' direction and continuous
  • Only a strand of DNA act as template, template is also known as antisense strand or non coding strand  
  • The complementary strand is the sense strand or the coding strand
  • Only a small segment of DNA is transcribed at a time generally called gene
