Effectus [21]

Answer:

A. Catabolic

B.Anabolic.

C. Anabolic

D. Catabolic.

E.Anabolic

F. Catabolic

G. Anabolic

H. Catabolic

Explanation:

Catabolic process is a metabolic processes that breakdown complex or larger molecules into smaller sizes by releasing energy.

The examples of such metabolic processes are;

Glucose is used as the primary fuel for energy

Dietary carbohydrate from a meal is digested and absorbed as monosaccharides, mainly glucose

Dietary protein from a meal is digested and absorbed as single amino acids.

Fatty acids are used as fuel sources for some tissues.

All this processes are catabolic processes because large molecules are broken to smaller ones and all this processes release energy.

Anabolic process is a metabolic process where smaller molecular are build up to form larger molecules and this requires the input of energy.

Examples are;

Glucose is used as the primary fuel for energy

Excess glucose is stored as glycogen in the liver and muscle.

Excess glucose is converted to fatty acids and stored as part of the triglyceride molecule in adipose tissue

Excess tatty acids combine with glycerol to form which are stored in adipose tissues.

All these processes requires the build up of smaller molecules to larger molecules and requires input of energy.

Nonamiya [84]

The fertilized egg enters a 2-week period of cell division. during this period, the fertilized egg is known as an embryo.

Following sexual intercourse, sperms move from the vagina via the cervix and uterus to the fallopian tubes, where only a single sperm fuses with the egg.

The fertilized egg or the zygote divides constantly as it travels down the fallopian tube to the uterus. Initially, the zygote is transformed into a solid ball of cells after which it changes into a hollow ball of cells i.e. a blastocyst.

The blastocyst gets embedded in the wall of the uterus, where it evolves into an embryo connected to a placenta and enclosed by fluid-filled membranes.

Jerimiah is studying Wave A and Wave B. Wave A is traveling at 3 hertz, and Wave B is traveling at 1.2 hertz.
svp [43]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Correct answer is C

c. The resulting wave would travel at 4.2 hertz.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In this case constructive interference will occur and it will sum up or add both waves together. So that the resulting wave will travel at speed of 4.2 hertz. So, the correct option is C.
