The fat didn't really leave his body. Fat was converted to glucose in the gluconeogenesis pathway to give him energy during the period of starvation.

Fat is stored in the body in the adipose tissue. Fat plays so many roles in the body such as;

  • Protection of vital organs
  • Insulating the body from cold
  • Serving as an energy store

In times of starvation, fact could also be broken down to release energy. This occurs when fat is broken down to glycerol and fatty acids. When this occurs, glycerol goes to the liver where it is converted to glucose in the gluconeogenesis pathway. This helps to produce energy in times of starvation thereby depleting the body's fat reserve.

As this process occurs, the fat reserve in my friend's body kept going down resulting in his loss of about 15  Ibs of weight.

A hormone that regulates mineral levels is ________.
quester [9]

The answer is e. Calcitonin, Aldosterone and Atrial natriuretic peptide.

The calcitonin is a hormone secreted by the thyroid gland. Calcitonin is involved in the regulation of the levels of calcium and phosphate in the blood. Aldosterone is a hormone secreted by the adrenal gland.  It is essential for maintaining the store of sodium in the kidney, salivary glands, sweat glands and colon. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) or Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) is a peptide hormone synthesized, and secreted by cardiac muscle cells in the  heart. ANP is involved in the regulation of sodium levels in the cells of the heart.

Plz give a correct answer for the question how do canine and molar differ​
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Canines are the sharp, pointed teeth that sit next to the incisors and look like fangs. Dentists also call them cuspids or eyeteeth. Canines are the longest of all the teeth, and people use them to tear food

Molars are the flat teeth at the rear of the mouth. Each molar typically has four or five cusps. They are used exclusively for crushing and grinding. Wisdom teeth are also called third molars. They erupt from the age of 18 onwards but are often surgically removed.Their function is similar to that of the premolars, to grind, tear, and crush food. Molars have a large flat biting surface which makes them perfect for this job.

Explanation:

Hope it works!!!!

The answer is D. Limiting factors limit the ideal growth rate of a population. Examples of these limiting factors include space (low space) and food (scarce food). These limiting factors would limit the population growth rate either by causing emigration, increases birth rate, and decrease birth rate.
