Answer: True

Why? The primary source of energy for animals is carbohydrates, primarily glucose: the body's fuel. The digestible carbohydrates in an animal's diet are converted to glucose molecules and into energy through a series of catabolic chemical reactions.

Are fermentation reactions intracellular or extracellular? Explain.
kenny6666 [7]

Answer: Yes.

Explanation:

Fermentation is a general term denoting anaerobic degradation of glucose or other organic nutrients in various products to obtain energy in the form of ATP. Fermentation occurs when, after glycolysis, the Krebs cycle is not performed, because the organism does not have it or because this pathway is blocked, such as during hypoxia (lack of oxygen). Fermentation is a process used by bacteria to obtain energy, does not use oxygen and occurs in the cytoplasm of cells, ie an intracellular process, and each step is catalyzed with the help of different enzymes.

Some industries use this process in the production of some products, known to all of us, such as:

1. yogurt is produced by the famous lactic fermentation, where bacteria called lactobacilli to produce lactic acid.

2. bread and beer are produced by alcoholic fermentation, where the fermentation is carried out by fungi (facultative anaerobic), which ultimately produce alcohol;

3. vinegar to that produced by acetic fermentation, which consists of a chemical reaction, where partial oxidation of ethyl alcohol occurs, obtaining acetic acid.

Energy is stored in the body primarily as __________ in the muscles and liver and as ___________ in subcutaneous body fat.
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer: Energy is stored in the body primarily as GLYCOGEN in the muscles and liver and as TRIGLYCERIDE in subcutaneous body fat.

Explanation:

We take in food for the purpose of ENERGY, building of worn out tissues of the body and to boost the body immunity. After the intake of food, amino acids from dietary protein are used to synthesize body proteins and other molecules, carbohydrate is used to maintain blood glucose and to build glycogen stores, fat is used for energy or stored in the body.

The body must have a steady supply of energy with some of it coming from the metabolism of glucose.

GLYCOGEN formation occurs when there is excess blood glucose level in the process called glycogenesis. It is the suitable way glucose can be stored as it is insoluble and can not disturb the osmotic pressure of the cells. When food is restricted over time, glycogen stores are expended, and the body must rely on the breakdown of stored GLYCOGEN to be converted to glucose for energy production.

Also, energy for tissues that don't require glucose can come from the breakdown of triglycerides in the adipose tissue. TRIGLYCERIDES are formed by the liver when excess calories are taken, and are stored in the adipose tissues.
