Biology

The difference is in their chemical structure. Simple carbohydrates have a simpler molecular form, and as such are super easy to digest and fairly quick form of energy. Sucrose and Fructose are examples of such simple carbohydrates
 
Complex Carbohydrates, form a larger chain, and come packed with fiber. They have more advanced components that offer better health benefits (fiber) and are digested for more energy. Additionally Complex carbs are used by organisms to store large amounts of backup energy. Examples of such things include Starch (plants) and Glycogen (animals and Humans).

Complex carbohydrates provide energy for a longer amount of time.

A mutation occurring in a human can be passed
loris [4]
The correct answer is 2. 

A mutation can only be passed on to offspring if it occurs in the sex cell of the parent, which is what then forms the offspring. This renders all the other answers incorrect, because they do not happen in the gametes of ovaries or testes (the sex organs of females and males, respectively).

Select the correct answer. in which terrestrial biome would you find precipitation of 300 to 900 millimeters (mm) each year? a.
Jlenok [28]

In coniferous forests, the terrestrial biome receives precipitation of up to 300 to 900 millimeters (mm) each year.

Coniferous forests mainly consist of conifers and grow trees that produce thick needles and cones instead of growing flowers and leaves.

These are evergreen plants and stay green, healthy, and sustainable all year long.

In spite of flowers, these trees bear needles annually.

Moreover, conifers are very adaptive trees that can grow in very cold and dry climate zones.

It is due to their adaptability that they can survive all year long without losing a life.

Siberian fir, Dahurian, and Siberian larches are examples of confer forests.
