It is generally acknowledged that as human beings age, it becomes more difficult for them to lose weight, or even maintain their

current weight. People find they have to eat less and/or exercise more to maintain a healthy weight.
Which is the most likely explanation of why weight loss/maintenance becomes more difficult as people age?

a). As humans age, they becomes less active and use their muscles less; therefore, less chemical energy is converted to thermal energy.
b). As humans age, the process of extracting energy from the food becomes less efficient, so more food is needed to provide the same amount of energy.
c). As humans age, they become injured more often and need to increase the amount of food they eat to make repairs to body tissue.
d). As humans age, the body does not convert chemical to thermal energy, so they do no burn off any calories when exercising.

Which statement concerning the reproductive cells in the diagram below is correct?
alexandr1967 [171]

The gametes that are produced contain half the actual number of chromosomes that are found in the organism.

Option C

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The gametes are the units of sexual reproduction. These gametes are formed from the gamete mother cell by the process of meiosis. Meiosis actually convert a diploid cell into a haploid cell by reducing the chromosome number to half. So the genetic information of the gamete is also half to that of the other cells of that organism.

When two gametes fuse, they actually complete the full set of chromosomes and form a new organism which contains the characters according to the dominant and recessive basis. So offsprings are not completely similar to any of the parents.
