zhenek [66]3 years ago

Answer: Macronutrient--glycogen--galactose--maltose--branched--staight--fibre--glycolysis--protein

Explanation:

1. Carbohydrates are a -------Macronutrient------- whose primary function it to provide energy to the body. All digestible forms of carbohydrates provide 4 calories/g of energy. Fiber, starch, and --------glycogen------- are complex carbohydrates, while glucose, fructose, and sucrose are simple carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates can be monosaccharides,

like glucose and --------galactose------------ or disaccharides, like lactose and -------maltose-------- . Complex carbohydrates include polysaccharides. Starch consists of chains of glucose molecules. Some starch chains are -------branched------- and harder to digest. Other starch is much easier to digest and has ----straight---------- chains. Dietary -----fibre----- consists of soluble and insoluble types, which both possess important benefits like reducing the risk of constipation, heart disease, and obesity. Soluble fiber also helps reduce the risk of diabetes. Glycogen is a highly branched polysaccharide created by a process called -------glycogenesis-------- and is stored in the liver and muscles for later use. Carbohydrates in the diet are said to spare ------proteins-------- from being used to provide for fuel for cells.

Carbonhydrate are polyhydroxyl aldehyde or ketones.they are usually monossacharides, dissaccharides or polysaccharide.

Carbonhydrate are a good source of energy in the diet of man.

Monossacharides are the building blocks of monossacharides and polysaccharide.maintanance of blood sugar level is ensured by insulin,which converts excess sugar to forms in which they can be stored

Which is true of genes found on chromosomes?
PSYCHO15rus [73]
The option that is true of genes found on chromosomes is that D. they determine the inherited traits of an organism.
Genes are inherited - so those are the things that we get from our parents and other ancestors. It is easy to determine which of these genes a child is going to inherit - the doctors just need to take a look at the chromosomes, because genes are located there.

What is recombination and how does it work? is it the same thing as crossing-over? if an organism practiced self-fertilization,
Sever21 [200]
Recombination is the method by which organisms can randomly assort their genotypes amongst each other to create offspring with a different haplotype than either of its parents. This can be done by either copying sequences from one homologous chromosome to another (no physical exchange) or crossing over (physical exchange. 
Crossing over is a mechanism in eukaryotes by which recombination can occur, in which the two homologous chromosomes contributed by both parents literally cross over and break at certain points to exchange certain sections of the chromosomes amongst each together.
Self fertilizing organisms typically do not produce offspring that are genetically identical. However, this has an inbreeding effect on its offspring, since it is recombining from the same genotype and so has a higher chance of producing homozygous offspring. This is very detrimental for mammals and some eukaryotes, but in some other organisms such as bacteria, homozygosity is typically not an issue.
