The molecules of carbohydrates (carbon, hydrogen and oxygen) are the responsible to produce energy in our bodies as result of the metabolism (chemical reactions that occur in our body).

Answer:

Starch

Explanation:

Pasta is made of eggs and flour. The eggs are basically water, proteins and fats while flour is composed by starch.

Starch is a macromolecule that is composed of two polysaccharides, amylose and amylopectin, which are big chains of glucose, so starch is a carbohydrate. Carbohydrates are the biggest source of energy to the body, then, the starch will be the molecule in the pasta that increases the runner’s energy.

Bear in mind that proteins and fats also give energy but, as the starch is in greater proportion it will provide more energy to the runner.

Solubility. In each of the following pairs of amino acids, identify which amino acid would be most soluble in water: (a) Ala, Le
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

(a) Ala; (b) Tyr; (c) Ser; (d) His

Explanation:

The general formula for an amino acid is NH₂-CH(R)-COOH

The differences among the different amino acids is caused by the side groups R.

(a) Ala, Leu

Ala: R =                 CH₃-

Leu: R = (CH₃)₂CHCH₂-

Leucine has a larger hydrophobic side group. It should be the less soluble of the pair,

Alanine is the more soluble amino acid.

(b) Tyr, Phe

Tyr: R = HOC₆H₄CH₂-

Phe: R =      C₆H₅CH₂-

Tyrosine has a polar OH group. It can form hydrogen bonds with water.

Tyrosine is the more soluble amino acid.

(c) Ser, Ala

Ser: R = HOCH₂-

Ala: R =       CH₃-

Serine has a polar OH group. It can form hydrogen bonds with water.

Serine is the more soluble amino acid.

(d) Trp, His

Trp: R =       Indole-CH₂-

His: R = Imidazole-CH₂-

Tryptophan has a large aromatic hydrophobic side chain.

Histidine is a basic amino acid. At pH 7 it exists mainly as the anion NH₂CHRCOO⁻, which is hydrophilic.

Histidine is the more soluble amino acid.

If a 50 N force pulls on a 10 kg object,how much acceleration will occur?
meriva
Assuming that the force of friction does not equal to the force at which you are pulling at, hence Fnet is not zero, to solve for acceleration need to use the following equation:

Fnet = ma
a = Fnet/m
a = 50 N/10 kg
a = 5 N/kg or a = 5 m/s^2.

Will give brainliest, points, and more!!
tino4ka555 [31]

Do you relizes how many activities lead to global warming? When gas is burned in a car, it produces carbon dioxide (a green house gas). The carbon dioxide then floats up towards the atmosphere and becomes part of the atmosphere. This then causes the heat from the sun to get trapped, bouncing from the atmosphere to the earth. The sun will never stop producing heat which will only lead to the world getting hotter as each decade goes by.  

Hope this helps you!

What is the kinetic energy of a 5 kg object moving at 7 m/s?
valina [46]

Answer:

122.5 Joule, or 122.5 j

Explanation:

Given,

mass of the object (m) = 5 kg

velocity of the object (v) = 7 m/s

Kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2} × m × v²

Applying the formula:

Kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2} × 5 × 7²

⇒ \frac{1}{2} × 5 × 7 × 7

⇒ \frac{245}{2}

⇒ 122.5 Joule, or 122.5 j

Kinetic energy is the energy that an object gains as the result of the motion.  It also depends on the mass of the object and force with which the motion is applied.  In the given question, the mass of the object is 5 kg and the force of the velocity by which it is moving is 7 m/s.
