Summary Introduction

To explain: The process by which the body can convert excess carbohydrates in the diet to fats.

Introduction: The conversion of carbohydrates is a very complex process; it occurs generally when there is more than required amount of carbohydrates in daily diet. The body converts the excess carbohydrates in the body into glycogen and stores them in the muscles or liver.   If the consumption exceeds that level, the body overcomes it by storing the carbohydrates as proteins. If the level of carbohydrates crosses that threshold, the body converts that into fats. The carbohydrates and protein conversion is reversible, but the carbohydrate to fat conversion is irreversible. The only way to remove excess fat is by fat burning by physical activities.

1.) Community Diversity: The brown and orange line represent two different plant communities. a. Which color represents the community with a higher species richness? b. Which color represents the community with a higher species evenness? Relative abundance 0.1 0.04 0.001 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 Rank abundance c. What is the maximum value of the Simpson's diversity index (remember, Simpson's index is D = p², Simpson's diversity index is 1-D)? d. If the Simpson's diversity index equals 1, what does that mean about the number of species and their relative abundance within community being assessed?
