Which organs or tissues prefer to use ketone bodies such as acetoacetate as a fuel energy source instead of glucose?

Ierofanga [76]2 years ago

I think the appropriate would be the heart muscles and the renal cortex. Ketone bodies are three water-soluble molecules (acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, and their spontaneous break down product, acetone) that are produced by the liver from fatty acids during low food intake (fasting), carbohydrate restrictive diets, starvation, prolonged intense exercise, alcoholism among others. In some tissues acetoacetate and beta-hydroxybutyrate can be reconverted to acetyl-CoA to produce energy. The heart gets much of its energy from ketone bodies, although it also uses a lot of fatty acids. The brain gets its energy from ketone bodies when insufficient glucose is available, e.g. during fasting.

What type of muscle assists an agonist by causing a like movement or by stabilizing a joint over which an agonist acts? a synerg
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-a synergist

Explanation:

In the musculoskeletal system, the muscles to produce a movement work in group or pairs like hamstrings and quadriceps or biceps or triceps.  The muscles which work is known as an agonist or prime mover.

The muscle which helps prime mover by moving in the same direction and at the same time is known as synergists. The synergists produce a similar motion as the prime mover and also stabilizes the joints which hold the position for smooth movement of agonist.

Thus, synergist is the correct answer.

Although both br3- and i3- ions are known, the f3- ion has not been observed. explain.
Sliva [168]
Fluorine, iodine and bromine are all in the same group. Fluorine been the first element in the group has less number of electron orbitals compare with bromine and iodine. Bromine and iodine has D orbitals which can take part in their bonding activities, this allows the elements to bond in a variety of ways, but fluorine does not have the D orbital and therefore is limited in its ion formation. <span />

The backbone of DNA and RNA is composed of_________ . DNA is double stranded due to interactions between adenine, cytosine, guan
o-na [289]

A sugar-phosphate backbone (alternating grey-dark grey) joins together nucleotides in a DNA sequence. The sugar-phosphate backbone forms the structural framework of nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA. This backbone is composed of alternating sugar and phosphate groups, and defines directionality of the molecule.The two strands run in opposite directions, one going in a 3' to 5' direction and the other going in a 5' to 3' direction. The nitrogenous bases are positioned inside the helix structure like "rungs on a ladder," due to the hydrophobic effect, and stabilized by hydrogen bonding. Uracil is one of the four nucleobases in the nucleic acid of RNA that are represented by the letters A, G, C and U. The others are adenine, cytosine, and guanine. In RNA, uracil binds to adenine via two hydrogen bonds. In DNA, the uracil nucleobase is replaced by thymine. Uracil is a demethylated form of thymine.

KIM [24]

Answer: The video shows the plant reacting to external stimuli. Humans also react to many types of external stimuli. If someone touches us when we’re not expecting it, we jump. If we put a hand on something hot, we snatch it away. When it’s cold outside, our bodies shiver and our skin turns cold. When we walk into the sunlight after being in the shade, we tend to close our eyes or squint.
