How do fats, oils, and waxes react with water inside the body?

1 answer:

4 0

Lipids are organic compounds that contain the same elements as carbohydrates: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. However, the hydrogen-to-oxygen ratio is always greater than 2:1. More important for biological systems, the carbon-to-hydrogen bonds are nonpolar covalent, which means that lipids are fat soluble and will not dissolve in water. There are four biologically important lipids:

Fats
Waxes
Phospholipids
Steroids

Under anaerobic conditions, such as intense exercise, pyruvate is converted to ____________ . This 3-carbon molecule travels thr

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Under anaerobic conditions, such as intense exercise, pyruvate is converted to lactate. This 3-carbon molecule travels through the blood to the liver, where it can be converted to glucose by the cori cycle.

Under aerobic conditions, pyruvate enters the mitochondrion, where it is converted to acetyle CoA . This 2-carbon molecule goes on to participate in a series of oxidative reactions called the Citric acid cycle.

Explanation:

In the question ,among the given 6 options ,the simplest way to find the answer can be ,to find either the option is aerobic (presence of free oxygen ) or anaerobic (lack of free oxygen). Among the options , glucose is an incorrect option as it is a carbohydrate and used in respiration process .In aerobic process ,the glucose can be break down but in anaerobic ,it can only be used.

Other option is ATP- ATP is the energy source of the cell and used for storing energy or reactions of the cell,thus this option do not belong to the given question.

thus its clear the rest four options are the answer .

among four two options belong to aerobic and the rest two are anaerobic.

Under anaerobic conditions-

The pyruvate is converted into lactate because under the absence of oxygen only the NAD+ can be regenerated, thus further can allow glycolysis.

The cori cycle is also called lactic acidic cycle, thus this cycle is a metabollic pathway produced by anaerobic glycolysis (which takes place by regeneration of NAD+)transporting the molecules from blood to liver and further converting to glucose

Under aerobic conditions,-

The pyruvate is converted into Acetyle CoA so as to further produce citric acid and then citric acidic cycle. Thus Acetyle CoA forms more ATP which help in the regeneration of NAD+ and production of citric acid cycle takes place.

HENCE , The correct options are - lactate cori acetyle CoA citric acid.

Answer:

A fasting blood sugar test. That measures the amount of glucose in the blood. It ranges from 75g/dl to 100g/dl.

Hyperglycemia a high blood glucose value above the normal range will suggest diabetes mellitus.

Use your knowledge of inheritance (the passing of traits from parents to offspring) to explain why

yarga [219]

Answer:

Fraternal twins can be different genders because they are two completely different eggs getting fertilized; but even two same gender fraternal twins do not look completely alike. Whereas for identical twins since one egg is splitting into two, the two cells have the same exact DNA make up and chromosomes.

I also believe the technical part of it is to do with genetics, like ressesive and dominant genes, because they can be the same gender, ex. both girls and one has blue eyes, fair skin, and blonde hair, the other twin has brown eyes, black hair and tan skin. The parents could be part of the genes but there is also grandparents maybe the mom's mom has blonde hair and blue eyes, with fair skin. But the dad he has brown eyes, black hair and tan skin. The moms genes were recessive, but the grandma's genes were dominant.

I tried to explain it as best as I could I hope it helps!
