The label on a bag of salt-free pretzels indicates that they chips are "low-fat." this means the pretzels provide _____ gram(s)
Brilliant_brown [7]

3

The label on a bag of salt-free pretzels indicates that their chips are "low-fat." this means the pretzels provide 3 gram(s) of fat or less per serving.

Low-fat diets are diets in which the fats are reduced. Low-fat diets are produced in order to prevent diseases such as obesity and heart diseases. Food manufacturers usually use nutrient claims such as '‘low fat’' to indicate the nutritional value of their products. A ‘low fat’ food contains not more than 3g of fat per 100g of food  (for solids) and not more than 1.5g fat per 100g (for liquids).

Which of these is a way to increase the availability of freshwater
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Options -

A-avoid water pollution.

B-build thermal power plants.

C-add water features to gardens.

D-avoid drip irrigation systems

Solution -

The largest source of freshwater on planet earth is underground water. The water beneath the surface of earth is very limited. The total fresh water reserve on earth is 3% of the total water on earth. Pollution due to discharge of waste water into the rivers and oceans has caused the degradation of not only surface water but also ground water.  

Thus, option A is correct

Drip irrigation is a means to prevent wastage of water during irrigation. Thus, avoiding it will cause further loss of fresh water.  

Addition of water feature will increase usage of water, thus it is also incorrect

Building thermal plant will also cause water pollution and wastage. Hence, option  B is also incorrect

Oliga [24]

The reason why a dichotomous key to identify organism is valuable, is because it helps you classify organisms,it helps you identify eco -systems, it helps you analyze an organism's traits.

In Dichotomous key, the main way of identifying an object is by it scientific name.This is because, though two objects might look similar to each other but they might belong to a whole different species.

So, it is is easier to identify the organism from its scientific name, as it will tell us which species it belongs to.

This key is very useful to people who are novice, and don't know much about identifying an organism.

This key also helps identifying, whether an organism belongs to a particular closely related group of organisms or is a separate organism.

It helps one analyze the traits of an organism, and based on their characteristics, it will help you identify and classify the species of the object or organism.
