Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is Fat because they store twice as much energy per gram.

There are three sources of energy in animals that is proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. The most concentrated form of metabolic energy found in nature is fat. One gram of fat provides approximately 9 calories, whereas carbohydrates or proteins provide only 4 calories per gram.

Thus, most of the excess energy is stored as fats in animals.

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The correct answer would be Pp.

The genotype of one parent is PP. Thus, it will produce only one type of allele, that is, P.

Similarly, the genotype of another parent is pp. Thus, it will produce only one type of gamete, that is, p.

The cross would produce offspring with only one type of genotype, that is, heterozygous Pp.

The phenotype of all the offspring will be purple as it is a dominant trait.

The chief force pushing water and solutes out of the blood across the filtration membrane is A) the ionic electrochemical gradie
Marysya12 [62]
<h2>C) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

  • Glomerular filtration is the process which kidneys uses to filter excess fluid and waste products out of the blood into the urine collecting tubules of the kidney, so that they may be eliminated from the body
  • The rate at which kidneys filter blood is called the glomerular filtration rate
  • The main driving force for the filtering process, or outward pressure is the blood pressure as it enters the glomerulus, this is counteracted to some extent by inward pressure due to the hydrostatic pressure of the fluid within the urinary space, and the pressure generated by the proteins left in the capillaries that tend to pull water back into the circulatory system (colloidal osmotic pressure)
  • The net filtration pressure is the outward pressure minus the inward pressure
