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)

Heart rate decreased suddenly and then MAP immediately fell because peripheral blood vessels were extensively vasodilated.

Explanation:

A VO2 max test is a clinical test done in a lab and is the ‘golden standard’ for measuring the potential and cardio-respiratory endurance of athletes and bikers.

It measures the oxygen carrying capability through a graded step test which determines the average power output. The maximal oxygen uptake along with cardiorespiratory responses is measured.

As per exercise physiology, the heart rate and cardiac output increases with exercise. When the potential is less, the resistance decreases, heart rate and mean arterial pressure also decrease .

In pea plants purple flowers are dominant to white flowers.
algol13

Answer:

100%

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for flower color in pea plants. The allele for purple flowers (P) are dominant to white flowers (p). This means that purple color will be expressed in a heterozygous state.

According to this question, If two white flowered plants are cross i.e. pp × pp, the following gametes will be produced by each of the parent: p and p. Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), ALL (100%) of the offsprings will be white colored (pp).

Therefore, 100% of the offsprings will be white flowered.
