A) In the case of starvation, identify the macromolecule being catabolized by the body to power cellular respiration. b) Identify the monomers of the macromolecule identified in part (a). Connect your answer from part (a) to justify how this leads to dramatic weight loss in people who are starving.

Owing to the breakdown of fat, loss of weight occurs during starvation.

A period of starvation refers to a period in which the body does not get food to eat for a long time. In this period, the body begins to break down fat molecules stored in the body in order to carry out cellular respiration.

The monomers that make up fat are the triglycerides. These glycerides are converted to glucose by biochemical mechanisms in the body. As a result of the breakdown of fat that surrounds the skin and other tissues, there is a dramatic weight loss in people who are starving.

the two answers are a, the population of birds with large beaks will increase on the island, and c, the trait for large beaks will be passed on to future generations through natural selection. the reason for that is because if the birds that have beaks developed for eating small seeds lose all of their food, they will go hungry and eventually starve because they physically cannot eat the large seeds, therefore making the population of large beaked birds higher. also, if the trait of large beaks are dominant on the island over small beaks, then over time the large beaked birds will reproduce more and more, while the smaller beaked birds will reproduce less and less because they can't survive with the food provided. that leads to the trait of small beaks disappearing and the trait of large beaks taking over the island.
