If there is not enough carbohydrate intake, how does the body form glucose?

Contact [7]3 years ago

When there isn't enough readily available glucose from the breakdown of carbohydrate, the body first turns to stored carbohydrate reserves (glycogen). If there's still no new intake of carbohydrate and the reserves are depleted, the body is forced to use alternative sources (fat and protein) for energy.

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

a. activation of the sympathetic autonomic nervous system by the new experience.

Explanation:

The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system generates a flight or fight response. This is a series of physiological processes that start when a person has any stress, new experience or emergency conditions such as the first diving trip. One such response produced by activated sympathetic division is increased heart rate to pump more blood and deliver more oxygen to body cells and tissues. Also, the person experiences an increased breathing rate to compensate for the increased oxygen demand.

In guinea pigs, the allele for black fur (B) is dominant over the allele for white fur (b). A black male guinea pig is mated to
Virty [35]

Answer:

Male: Bb

Female: bb

Explanation:

1. I made punnet squares to test each genotype pairs:

BB (black male) x bb (white female)

Bb (black male) x bb (white female)

** B is dominant over b so if Bb, black will be expressed

3. I calculated the percentage of each phenotype to see if it matched the the number of white and black guinea pigs produced. I found that Bb x bb had 50% chance for white guinea pigs and 50% chance for black guinea pigs, which is about the same in the scenario above (7 black, 6 white).

4. I infered that the male black guinea pig's genotype is Bb and the female white guinea pig's genotype is bb.

Explain TWO strategic ways employed by microbes of extreme environments that enable them withstand harsh environmental and physi
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Some microbes are thermophiles and they can survive in area with high temperature between 45 -80°C, they are chemoautotroph in nature, oxidizing sulphur to products acids such as sulfur in the environment. This acid also help them to better adapt to the environment as many thermophiles likes acidic environment.

Thermophiles body has saturated and straight chain fatty acid that helps prevent denaturation which enables them grow and thrive in harsh weather condition by providing the fluidity that is needed in membrane function.

Thermophiles are also small in sizes this ensure there stability.
