Debido a la baja cantidad de calorías que utilizamos o quemamos en un día de trabajo

Biology
1 answer:
Delvig [45]2 years ago

Answer: Se debe a que el cuerpo lleva a cabo funciones fisiológicas vitales que requieren energía.

Explanation:

Las calorías son unidades de energía aportadas por los alimentos que consumimos a diario. Puntualmente se define la cantidad de calor necesaria para aumentar en 1 grado centígrado a la temperatura de 1 gramo de agua desde 14,5 hasta 15,5. La principal fuente de calorías en los alimentos son los hidratos de carbono, luego le siguen las grasas y proteínas.

<u>Dicha energía hallada en los alimentos, es utilizada por el cuerpo para llevar a cabo distintas funciones fisiológicas vitales e importantes para que el organismo funciones correctamente</u>, como el bombeo de sangre del corazón, funcionamiento de los riñones o el actividad del cerebro, etc. Nos referimos a esto como el metabolismo basal, el cual es el valor mínimo de energía utilizada en reacciones químicas celulares para la supervivencia del organismo. Dicho metabolismo basal depende de diversos factores tales como la edad, peso, sexo, etc. Pero también, las calorías son necesarias para distintas actividades voluntarias como caminar o levantar algún objeto.

<u>Sin embargo, la forma de energía de las calorías de los alimentos es distinta a la forma de energía necesaria para llevar a cabo estas funciones fisiológicas tanto voluntarias como involuntarias.</u> Para ello, la energía de las calorías debe de convertirse a otra forma y esto ocurre comenzando primero con la digestión de los alimentos, donde luego sus nutrientes son absorbidos en el torrente sanguíneo para luego dirigirse a las células. En las mismas, ocurre un proceso llamado respiración celular, en donde se utilizan las calorías de los alimentos para sintetizar ATP (Adenosín Trifosfato), la cual es una molécula que almacena energía utilizable por parte de las células y que eventualmente impulsará y llevará a cabo todos los procesos fisiológicos y metabólicos.

Entonces, en el caso del trabajo de una oficina en el que las personas permanecen sentadas largas horas, sin mucha actividad, <u>igualmente necesitan consumir mas de 2.000 kilocalorías diarias ya que el cuerpo debe obtener esa energía para llevar a cabo las funciones de todos los órganos para mantenerlos vivos.</u>

Why do plant need food
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

They need food in order to gain the initial energy they need.

Explanation:

Plants unlike humans don't get food by primary sources (aka, hunting). instead they retrieve their food from the suns rays. Without the suns rays they are able to convert this energy into glucose for themselves, and will essentially die because they do not have that source of food to give them the energy they need to survive.

The process of dissolving bone and returning its minerals to the bloodstream is known as?
Paha777 [63]

"The process of dissolving bone and returning its minerals to the bloodstream is known as resorption."  It is the process by which osteoclasts break bone tissue and release the minerals, causing a transfer of calcium from bone tissue to the blood.

In the cycle of bone growth, resorption is the breakdown and assimilation of old bone. It remove hard bone tissue during the resorption (remodeling) process, and osteoblasts then lay down new bone cells.

Bone loss, or a reduction in bone mass and bone density, is caused by bone resorption. This may be brought on by health issues including hyperparathyroidism, hypovitaminosis D, or even aging-related decreases in hormone synthesis.

If you ever swam in a pool and your eyes began to sting and turn red, you felt the effects of an incorrect pH level. pH measures
Brilliant_brown [7]
Though there's no question in the statement above I would assume that you are asking about the pH of the water that is acidic. The correct statement would be:

Any liquid that has a pH less than 7 is called acidic, a pH above 7 is basic or alkaline. 

The water in the swimming pool has a high acid concentration due to the chlorine which causes the effect of redness in the eyes.
