Living organisms break down polysaccharides into simple sugars

1 answer:

8 0

<span>This is true. These simple sugars are then further processed and we get energy from them. If we get more energy than what we need it gets stored for use in the future. This is basically how you get obese from too much candy and sweets. Of course, that doesn't mean you should completely avoid carbo hydrates.</span>

Which compound completes the equation _____ + O2 --> CO2 + H2O + Energy

frez [133]

Answer:c) glucose

Explanation: The complete balanced chemical equation is C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy.

The equation above represents cellular respiration. During respiration, one molecule of glucose (C6H12O6) is broken down in the presence of six molecules of oxygen (O2) to produce six molecules of carbon dioxide (6CO2), six molecules of water (6H2O) and energy (ATP).

Name 3 critical areas of the body that are accurately maintained by homeostasis.

tester [92]

Answer: Respiratory system, Excretory system, and Endocrine system.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the process through which several organ systems work to maintain a stable internal environment in the body. There are three organs of the body which ar eaccurately maintained by homeostasis:

Respiratory system: High carbon dioxide content in the blood triggers faster breathing. Most frequently, the lungs exhale, which quicker extracts carbon dioxide from the body.

Endocrine system: High blood sugar content causes insulin release by an endocrine gland called pancreas. Insulin is a hormone which helps the cells absorb blood sugar.

Excretory system: A low blood level of water causes kidney accumulation of water. The kidneys contain more concentrated urine, so less water from the body is lost.

Hence, three critical areas are respiratory system, excretory system, and endocrine system that are accurately maintained by homeostasis.
