Answer:
1. When the number of calories a person consumes is equal to the number of calories he or she burns in a day, that person's body is in Energy Balance.
2. Someone who is in Positive Energy Balance eats more calories in a day than he or she bums.
3. Negative Energy Balance occurs when the number of calories a person bums in a day is greater than the amount he or she consumes.
4. Weight management involves applying strategies that allow someone to keep his or her body weight within a healthy.
5. The Basal metabolic rate is the amount of energy uses in order to perform its basic physiological functions.
6. The Thermic effect of food refers to the number of calories burned in order to digest absorb, metabolze, and store food.
7. The Lean body mass refers to his or her total body - fat mass.
Explanation:
This group of statements are related to body weight, the balance between the energy we consume through food and all the energy we burn through excercise and different activities, such as only mantaining our body temperature and normal processes.
The skin is composed of thin membranous tissue that is quite permeable to water and contains a large network of blood vessels. The thin membranous skin is allows the respiratory gases to readily diffuse directly down their gradients between the blood vessels and the surroundings. When the frog is out of the water, mucus glands in the skin keep the frog moist, which helps absorb dissolved oxygen from the air.
A frog may also breathe much like a human, by taking air in through their nostrils and down into their lungs. The mechanism of taking air into the lungs is however sligthly different than in humans. Frogs do not have ribs nor a diaphragm, which in humans helps serve in expand the chest and thereby decreasing the pressure in the lungs allowing outside air to flow in.
In order to draw air into its mouth the frog lowers the floor of its mouth, which causes the throat to expand. Then the nostrils open allowing air to enter the enlarged mouth. The nostrils then close and the air in the mouth is forced into the lungs by contraction of the floor of the mouth. To elimate the carbon dioxide in the lungs the floor of the mouth moves down, drawing the air out of the lungs and into the mouth. Finally the nostrils are opened and the floor of the mouth moved up pushing the air out of the nostrils.
Frogs also have a respiratory surface on the lining of their mouth on which gas exchange takes place readily. While at rest, this process is their predominate form of breathing, only fills the lungs occasionally. This is because the lungs, which only adults have, are poorly developed.
Answer:
It means the entire variability among living organisms. From marine and terrestrial life forms, it also means that each types of these ecosystems hold large diverse species that have even their own subspecies.
Answer:
2: Amount of precipitation, average temperature
3: Desert
4: The tundra
5: All of the above
Answer:
B is correct. Production of PEP, glucose, and fructose 6-phosphate by gluconeogenesis-specific enzymes that bypass irreversible steps of glycolysis push the equilibrium of reversible enzymes that function both in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis in the direction of glucose production.
