Women readily develop lower body fat around the hips and thighs and men readily develop central body fat around the abdomen. This primarily is due to gender differences in

a. set points.
b. the activity of lipoprotein lipase.
c. patterns of physical activity.
d. the activity of lipoprotein synthetase.
e. blood insulin levels.

b. the activity of lipoprotein lipase.

Explanation:

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is considered or known to be a rate-limiting enzyme that hydrolyzes circulating triglyceride-rich lipoprotein such as very low density lipoproteins and chylomicrons.

It is known that the Lipoprotein lipase is  activated by glucagon and adrenaline. And this why the activity of LPL increases in muscle tissue and decreases in adipose tissue, during fasting while , its activity decreases in muscles tissue and increases in adipose tissue.

It is known that, it  plays an important role in breaking down fat in the form of triglycerides, which are carried from various organs to the blood by molecules called lipoproteins.

In conclusion, women fat cells in the breasts, hips, and thighs produce abundant LPL, storing fat in those body sites  , while in men, fat cells in the abdomen produce abundant LPL.

In my own words, this summary equation tells me that:

When glucose reacts with oxygen, carbon (IV) oxide and water are given off and energy is produced.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is known to be a metabolic reaction which actually occur in the cells of living organisms whereby chemical energy is converted into energy (ATP) and certain waste products, carbon (IV) oxide and water are released. We can simply put that cellular respiration is a process of converting sugars to energy. In the giving equation, we can see that glucose which is a sugar reacts with oxygen to give CO₂ and H₂O.
