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

ANTONII [103]
The meteorite was probably 1<span>0 to 15 km (6.2 to 9.3 mi) wide</span> and affected the entire planet through a proces called "impact winter". As the name suggests, an impact winter is a period of low temperature produced by a huge cloud of ash and dust that blocks sunlight. Since sunlight is essential for plants to survive, if the sun rays are blocked by this cloud, all animals that depend on those plants (including dinosaurs) will die. The meteorite could have created such a cloud upon hitting the earth.

Veins have valves which allow blood to flow only in one direction. Arteries do not have valves. Yet the blood flows in one direc
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart. Veins carry the blood back to the heart. Veins contain valves that ensure blood flows in only one direction. Arteries don’t require valves because pressure from the heart is so strong that blood is only able to flow in one direction.
