Answer:

Fatty acid can not be used to make glucose because once glucose is converted to aceltyl coA it can not be converted back to glucose again. The pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction that converts pyruvate to aceyl CoA is an irreversible reaction. Lipid metabolism produced acetyl CoA through beta oxidation, because of this pyruvate and oxaloacetate can not be converted to glucose through gluconeogenesis. Besides, the two carbon atoms in acetyl CoA molecule are lost upon entering the citric acid cycle, thus the acetyl CoA is used for energy.

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer: D. Controlled

Explanation:

Motion sickness arises from a conflict within the sense. This is when actual movement is different from expected movement.

It is important to note that either perceived or real motion can cause motion sickness.

Motion sickness is directly attributed to a system of the body called the vestibular system. This system is involved in balance and transmits information to the brain about what's happening around you.

The vestibular system is directly controlled by the autonomic nervous system and therefore cannot be controlled by the sufferer.
