Answer:

1. Synthesis and repair of muscle tissue

2. Production of ATP

3. Synthesis of glucose

Explanation:

Proteins are primarily used for tissue repairs and synthesis. They are polymers of amino acids used to make hormones, enzymes and other chemicals of the body. Therefore proteins are only reserved for synthesis and repairs of tissues.

During extreme starvation periods when then is no source of carbohydrates and adipose tissues has been depleted/used up, proteins are alternatively used as source of energy in form of amino acids that enters the liver. Tissues such as muscles are protein degraded to provide the brain with energy in form of ketone bodies and glucose, thus the weight loss in people suffering from malnutrition.

Answer:

The correct option is D. <u>The chemical bond breaks between the second and third phosphate groups.</u>

Explanation:

Adenosine phosphate (ATP) can be described as main energy-carrying molecules which are required by each cell to carry out its normal functions.

A molecule of ATP comprises of the nitrogenous base Adenine, pentose sugar ribose and three molecules of phosphate.

The bond between the second and third molecule carries high amounts of energy. When this bond is broken, huge amounts of energy is released which is used by the cells to carry out essential processes.

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

The leaf discs only float in bicarbonate solution and in the light environment.

Explanation:

The bicarbonate dissolves in water to produce a source of inorganic CO2 in the reaction:

NaHCO3 + H2O → H2CO3 + OH- + Na+

Then, the HCO3- undergoes fixation through several complex steps in order to form a carbohydrate or sugar. These store the converted solar energy in their bonds as chemical energy to be used in metabolism.

Photosynthesis is a chemical process, essential to plant and other primary producers producing energy. Energy in the form of glucose molecules is derived from solar or light energy, water, and inorganic carbon dioxide, while it releases oxygen (from the light reaction). The leaf discs float as O2 gas is produced, making them buoyant.

6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Carbon dioxide + water + energy= glucose + oxygen

Anti-D immunoglobulins or anti-D (RH) immunoglobulins are a variety of immunoglobulins (IgG). These are proteins that play an important role in our immune system.

Anti-D immunoglobulins are obtained from human blood taken from volunteer donors. They are administered in the pregnant woman in case of incompatibility of rhesus between her and the child.
