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.
Answer:
Wounded skin heals by forming a scab
Explanation:
An amoeba splitting is mitosis.
The fur of a gray squirrel matching it's environment is adaptation.
A tomato plant making its own food is photosynthesis.
Wounded skin healing is an example of how a living thing is healing/maintaining it's structure.
Answer:
You store it: Glycogen
Explanation:
Excess glucose is stored in the liver as the large compound called glycogen. Glycogen is a polysaccharide of glucose, but its structure allows it to pack compactly, so more of it can be stored in cells for later use.
The cyclin begins to be destroyed at the metaphase of the cell cycle causing the chromosomes to begin to seperate.
