why is it easier/ faster for our body to digest candy than pasta? candy contains disaccharides and thus contains more substrate

and needs more enzyme to digest. pasta contains glycogen and thus contains more substrate and needs more enzyme to digest. candy contains monosaccharides and thus contains more substrate and needs more enzyme to digest. pasta contains starch and thus contains more substrate and needs more enzyme to digest.

Pasta contains starch and thus contains more substrate and needs more enzyme to digest.

<h3>What is starch ?</h3>

A polymeric carbohydrate called starch, also known as amylum, is made up of a lot of glucose units connected by glycosidic linkages. The majority of green plants synthesize this polysaccharide as a form of energy storage. It is the most prevalent type of carbohydrate consumed by people worldwide and is present in significant proportions in common foods like wheat, potatoes, maize (corn), rice, and cassava (manioc).

Pure starch is a powder that is white, odorless, tasteless, and insoluble in alcohol or cold water. It is made up of the branching amylopectin and the linear and helical amylose molecules. Starch typically comprises 20 to 25% amylose and 75 to 80% amylopectin by weight, depending on the plant. Animals store their energy in glycogen, which is a more intricately branched form of amylopectin.

Tin, because it has five energy levels with four electrons in the fifth level .

Explanation:

Tin has an electronic configuration as

1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2,...........4d10, 5s2,5p2

They have four valence electrons in their outer shell

Among the four diagrams given Tin is least reactive because the atomic radius of tin is largest among all four options. Due to large atomic radius electronegativity decreases and hence Tin is the least reactive element among Neon, Chlorine, gallium and tin.

The electronegativity of an element is its tendency to complete its octet by attracting electrons towards itself. Also tin is at the lowest place in the periodic table among all the four mentioned elements, its ionization energy is also low hence less electronegative and least reactive.

Animals that maintain internal body temperature using heat generated by their own metabolism are called
denpristay [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

The complete question is as follows :

Animals that maintain internal body temperature using heat generated by their own metabolism are called:

A)thermoregulators.

B)hibernators.

C)aerophiles.

D)endotherms.

E)dormants.

  • An animal that is capable of maintaining a body temperature that is metabolically favorable for the organism is known as an endotherm.
  • The body temperature is maintained by an endotherm by using its internal body capacity to generate heat rather than depending on the ambient temperature.
  • Some of the mechanisms used by endotherms to maintain a suitable internal body temperature include shivering, uncouple oxidative phosphorylation, sweating, flushing, etc.
  • The endotherms include birds and mammals.
  • The ability to perform endothermy is owed to the presence of a large number of mitochondria that enables the organism to increase the rate of metabolism to generate heat as and when required.

What is the best conclusion? The rate of cellular respiration in germinating peas is exactly one thousand times the rate of ATP
Nady [450]

The given question is incomplete, the complete question is:

During germination, peas sprout and grow. The data table shows the carbon dioxide produced during the germination period of peas under different conditions. Condition Rate of carbon dioxide produced (mL/min) Germinating peas, 10ºC 0.01 Germinating peas, 20ºC 0.02 What is the best conclusion? The rate of cellular respiration in germinating peas is exactly one thousand times the rate of ATP production. Germinating peas at 10ºC create carbon dioxide at a rate of 0.01 mL/min during ATP production. Germinating peas at 20ºC have a higher rate of cellular respiration than germinating peas at 10ºC. The rate of cellular respiration cannot be measured without knowing the rate of ATP production.

Answer:

The correct statement is that at 20 degree C, the germinating peas exhibits a higher rate of cellular respiration in comparison to the germinating peas at 10 degree C.

Explanation:

The process of respiration results in the production of carbon dioxide, respiration refers to a chemical reaction that generates water, carbon dioxide, and energy by undergoing oxidation of the glucose molecules. This phenomenon plays an essential role in the life of the organisms for obtaining energy from the food they consume to perform daily activities.  

From the question, it is evident that the peas, which were germinating at 20 degrees C exhibit a higher rate of cellular respiration as they are generating 0.02 milliliters of carbon dioxide in a minute, while on the other hand, the germinating peas at 10 degrees C are giving rise to 0.01 milliliters of carbon dioxide in a minute.
