Question
Chapter 27, Problem 3P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The molecules used by the brains as fuel determined.
Concept introduction:
The brain is the main organ in all the vertebrates and most invertebrates. It is an important part of the central nervous system. It is the most complex organ present in the human body, which is composed of around 100 billion nerve cells. The brain controls the functioning of all other organs and systems in the body.
