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

Biology
1 answer:
Delvig [45]2 years ago
3 0

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>

Which sequence shows the correct order of living things in a food chain?
kkurt [141]

The correct answer is option (A) leaves > deer > wolf.

A food chain is a linear sequence of organisms through which the nutrients and energy flow as one organisms feeds on the other. They show organisms starting from the producers and end with consumers or sometimes with detrivores or decomposers. Each level of the food chain is called the trophic level. The producers which use solar energy and prepare their food occupy the first trophic level, followed by the primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary consumers occupying the next trophic level.

In the food chain given above, leaves > deer > wolf, deers feed on the leaves which are maximum in number comparitively, wolf feeds on the deer which are comparitively more in number than the wolves. This is the correct sequence of food chain showing the tranfer of energy and decreasing number of organisms with subsequent increase in the trophic levels.

Write a brief report about what causes cancer cells to develop.
a_sh-v [17]
In order to study the formation of cancer cells, you should study the life cycle of normal cells as cancer cells are abnormal cells. 

Actually, Normal cells grow, divides and died after an interval of time. And when this process is break down, cancer cells begin to form. They are usually old cells which don't die after their life cycle.

Hope this helps!
