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 would you expect to be the most active on a cold day?
ira [324]
Biologically thinking, I would say viruses.
Viruses are Inert organisms, they are not influenced by temperature on the opposite of other organisms like humans or bacteria (there are some exceptions in bacteria)
Temperature influences proteins, it could change their conformation and their activity, especially for enzymes.
Temperature decreases the energy flow, due to the decrease of thermal agitation of small molecules like ions in cells.
Viruses don't need active enzymes to live, it just needs host cells, which will be easier on cold days because of the decrease of immune system activity
On cold days you can see an emergence of viruses infections like flu or cold.
