Energy Storage in Humans Free glucose in blood has 4 kilocalories per gram, 40 kilocalories of energy storage, and a few minutes
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Fat molecules contain more energy-containing bonds than simple sugars.

Explanation:

Lipids are a large group of mostly non-polar hydrophobic hydrocarbons. They include fats and oils, waxes, phospholipids and steroids. They serve many functions in living organisms such as energy storage molecules, information molecules, insulation against cold in some animals etc.

From the information provided above, lipids have 9 kilocalories per gram, 100,000 kilocalories of energy storage, and 30 to 40 days of life support time. When energy provided per gram by lipids is compared with that of either glucose or glycogen, lipids provide more than twice the energy of that of glucose or glycogen. Similarly, the energy storage capacity of lipids over 1000 times that of glucose and 50 times that of glycogen. Therefore, fat molecules (an example of lipids) contain more energy-containing bonds than simple sugars (e.g. glucose)

What are the filaments called that help some bacteria stick to surfaces and exchange plasmids through conjugation?
TEA [102]

Pili are the filaments that help some bacteria stick to surfaces and exchange plasmids through conjugation.

Pili are hollow, hair like appendages that are found on the surface of some bacterial cells. Pili are composed of a special protein (known as pilin). Pilia act as a means of attachment of bacteria to surfaces (such as their host) and it is also used by bacteria to exchange their genetic material (plasmids) in the mating process between cells (known as conjugation).

Which statement describes the offspring of the Fı generation when crossing a pea plant that is true breeding for green seeds wit
alukav5142 [94]

The offspring will inherit one allele from each parent.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

The genetic crossing experiments lead to the formation of different hybrids which has several characters unlike their parents. Here the parents are homozygous.

One of the parent is homozygous yellow with respect to seed colour. So genetic combination of the parent will be YY.

The other parent is homozygous green with respect to seed color. So genetic combination of the parent will be yy.

Now as they are crossed the offsprings will have genetic combination of Yy.

This is seen that the offsprings carry one allele from both the parents.
