Answer:
The Mediterranean diet is characterized by being vegetarian accompanied by small portions of protein. Rich in grains, fresh fruits, nuts and legumes. All these foods are prepared with olive oil as the main source of fat.
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
When carbon dioxide (CO2) is combined with water, it enter a so called equilibrium which results in the formation of free hydrogen ions (H+). The equilibrium equation is the following CO2 + H2O←→ HCO3- + H+.
The acidity in the body is measured by pH, which is calculated using the concentration of free hydrogen ions (H+). The higher the concentration of the latter, the more acidic the compound is.
In the case of carbon dioxide (CO2), the concentration of free hydrogen ions (H+) increases due to this equilibrium, therefore carbon dioxide is acidic in the body.
Answer:
Water moves across a permeable barrier during osmosis to equalize the solute concentration on each side of the membrane. Nutrients, on the other hand, are absorbed across a barrier by a process known as diffusion
Explanation:
Osmosis is a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane. Diffusion is the process by which atoms or molecules move from an area of high concentration to low concentration
