Why is carbohydrate preferred for ATP production?

Biology
1 answer:
Jlenok [28]4 years ago
8 0
ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate is the energy that the cells use to make the body perform properly. Carbohydrate is the preferred nutrient for ATP production in the mitochondria of the cell because it can be easily broken down. When absorbed by the body, carbohydrates automatically turn into glucose and glycogen.
<span>
Glucose, as the by-product of carbohydrates, readily provides a supply of energy to the body as it circulates with the blood. Too much glucose in the blood will make the blood sticky and will have a hard time to flow in the blood vessels.

Glycogen on the other hand, is the back-up energy source of the body when glucose is no longer available. It is stored in the muscles and liver. It can readily turn again into glucose when the body thinks it needs it.</span>

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The correct answer would be non-disjunction.

Down syndrome refers to the genetic disease caused by the non-disjunction of chromosome number 21.

Non-disjunction refers to the event in which the homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids fail to separate properly during a cell division.

In Down syndrome, the sister chromatids of chromosome 21 fail to separate properly which results in the formation of a gamete with 2 copies of chromosome 21.

When this gamete fertilizes with another gamete, it results in the formation of a zygote with 47 chromosomes, that is, 46 chromosomes + extra copy of chromosome 21.
