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

Biology

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.

If you have placed starch and water in the beaker and placed glucose and iodine inside the dialysis bag, what results would you
zepelin [54]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The osmosis will be observed in the beaker leading the movement of water into the dialysis bag from the beaker.</u>

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Osmosis is the process of movement of water from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution through a semipermeable membrane.
  • In the beaker the solution will be dilute than the glucose iodine solution in bag.
  • Due to this concentration difference, the water water from the starch water solution is moved into the bag through the dialysis membrane.

Hence the process of osmosis will be observed.

melomori [17]
In scientific reasoning, a hypothesis is made before any applicable analysis has been done. A theory, on the opposite hand, is supported by evidence: it is a principle shaped as an effort to clarify things that have already been supported by knowledge<span>.

</span>For example: “It's bright outside.” 
Hypothesis: A projected clarification for a development created as a place to begin for additional investigation.

Theory: A well-substantiated rationalization nonheritable through the methodology and repeatedly tested and confirmed through observation and experimentation
