Answer;

-Ability to catalyze biochemical reactions

Explanation;

-Carbohydrates and proteins are very important macromolecules that the body needs in significantly larger quantities together with lipids, as compared to other nutrients like vitamins or minerals, for a healthy life.

-Carbohydrates are organic compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen and they are required by the human body as an energy source, while are organic compounds made up of interlinked chains of amino acids, which consist of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur.

Apart from the structure and element composition, carbohydrates and proteins differ in a number of ways, these includes; carbohydrates are the body’s main source of fuel that enables it to function, proteins are the building blocks of the body.

Carbohydrates are needed by the body to make it run and function, while we need proteins to keep our muscles and glands healthy. Additionally, proteins have the ability to catalyze biochemical reactions a major feature that differentiates it from carbohydrates and other macromolecules.

kvasek [131]

Answer:

The correct answer is cardiac tamponade.

Explanation:

Cardiac tamponade is the cause of the pericardial space being filled with liquid. This syndrome occurs in emergencies, as is the example of a stab penetrating wound and <u>if it is not treated urgently it can result in pulmonary edema, shock and even death. </u>

What happens in this case is that the pericardium receives a high pressure which causes that the pumping of blood it is not carried out correctly, and the heart is compressed decreasing the filling during diastole.

The most appropriate procedure to treat this type of emergency is a <u>pericardiocentesis </u>that allows <u>studying and draining the fluid lodged in the pericardium so that the pressure can decrease.</u>
