Carbohydrates and Their Functions in the Body

Biology
1 answer:
zhenek [66]4 years ago
8 0

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

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

25%

Explanation:

When looking at a pedigree remember that:

  • squares are males
  • circles are females
  • the solid colored figure represents an individual affected by a disease
  • the empty figure represents a healthy individual

Let us assign the symbol X⁺ to represent the dominant allele linked to the X-chromosome and expressing healthiness, and X⁻ to represent the recessive allele expressing the dissease.

According to this pedigree

  • I1 is a man affected by the disease, YX⁻
  • I2 is a healthy woman X⁺X⁻
  • we can see that among the progeny (generation II) there are two individuals affected (a boy and a girl) and one healthy girl. This means that the mother I2 is heterozygous for the trait.

So, having their genotypes we can know what are the probabilities of getting a son with DMD

Parentals)    YX⁻     x     X⁺X⁻  

Gametes)   Y     X⁻      X⁺     X⁻

Punnett square)

                        X⁺             X⁻

            X⁻      X⁺X⁻         X⁻X⁻    

            Y        X⁺Y           X⁻Y

F1)

  • The probabilities of getting a healthy daughter X⁺X⁻ are 25%
  • The probabilities of getting a healthy son X⁺Y are 25%
  • The probabilities of getting a daughter with DMD X⁻X⁻ are 25%
  • The probabilities of getting a son with DMD X⁻Y are 25%

Zara had a birthday and was able to choose a pet. The pet that she chose was a beautiful clownfish named Bozo, a common salt wat
White raven [17]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>The advice I would give  to Zara would be that she should keep Bozo in a separate tank with common salt water away from the goldfish. Bozo is a salt water fish while the goldfish can only survive in freshwater.</em>

If Bozo is kept in a saltless water/freshwater tank with the goldfish, the water would be hypotonic to Bozo. Consequently, water will osmotically diffuse into the cells of Bozo, the cells would become turgid and lyse, and this would lead to the death of the fish.

If the goldfish is kept in the same salt water tank with Bozo, the salt water would be hypertonic to the goldfish. Consequently, water will osmotically diffuse out of the cells of the goldfish into the surrounding salt water, the cells of the goldfish would become flaccid, and this would lead to the death of the fish.
