Answer:

Proteins

Explanation:

Minerals are not organic compounds, and carbs and lipids do not repair/grow cells (lipids are primarily used to store energy and insulate/protect the body and carbs provide a short boost of energy).

Proteins

Protein is a nutrient used to make and repair our body cells (like blood and muscle cells). About 1/2 of your dry body weight is protein. If you do not eat enough carbohydrates, protein will be changed to carbohydrates so that you can get energy.

What conditions prompt hemoglobin to release oxygen? select the three answers that are correct.
Basile [38]
When blood is in the lungs,
where oxygen is plentiful, oxygen easily binds to the first subunit and then quickly fills up the remaining ones. Then, as blood circulates through the body, the oxygen level drops while that of carbon dioxide increases. In this environment, hemoglobin releases its bound oxygen.

A hot air balloon has a volume of 15 L when it’s released from sea level, where the pressure is 100 kPa. What will be the hot ai
Lunna [17]

Answer:

65 L

Explanation:

It is assumed that the temperature is constant at both the sea level and the altitude.

<em>According to the gas law, at constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume.</em> Mathematically:

P1V1 = P2V2 where P1 = pressure at initial volume, V1 = volume at initial pressure, P2 = pressure at final volume, and V2 = volume at final pressure.

In the illustration, V1 = 15 L, P1 = 100 kPa, V2 =?, P2 = 23 kPa

V2 = P1V1/P2 =  100 x 15/23 = 65.22 L

<u>The volume of the hot air balloon at the altitude would be 65 L</u>

Why is mating between blood relatives discouraged from a genetic perspective?
algol [13]

Inbreeding is simply defined as the mating of relatives. It is a mating system in which individuals carry alleles that originated from a common ancestor. Inbreeding is considered a problem in humans because inbreeding increases the chances of receiving a deleterious recessive allele inherited from a common ancestor.
