Answer:

Option E

Explanation:

Complete question is

Why would you expect the energy present in the bonds of glucose to be more readily available than the energy from the sugar lactose?

a. It is easier to break down glucose into its component monosaccharides.

b. Glucose has fewer double bonds than lactose, making it easier to break down.

c. Both glucose and lactose are simple sugars; some people, however, have difficulty breaking down lactose.

d. Lactose is a complex carbohydrate and requires a lot of breaking down before the energy can be accessed.

e. Glucose is a simple sugar, and no additional processing is necessary to access the energy in the carbon-hydrogen bonds

Solution -

The structure of glucose is very simple as it is a monosaccharide i.e it has only one sugar molecule. On the other hand the lactose is disaccharide which means it has two sugar molecules. Being a monosaccharide, glucose cannot be further broken down into simple sugar molecules while on the other hand lactose can be broken down into simpler sugars (monosaccharide) by input of energy.  

Thus, glucose is readily available carb based energy resources which can be directly converted into energy or converted into glycogen for storage in cells.

Thus, option E is correct

Astronomy question i need help cause i never to space and i have to imagine if i was and I'll also mark Brainiest for best answe
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Looking at the sky during night is always an amazing scene. It takes our breath away, every time when we see the night sky with countless stars twinkling, full moon and planets. I always wished I reach those far planets travelling in space. The only way I can fulfill my dream is to become an astronaut. Astronaut is a person who is trained to travel in a spaceship to go to outer space. If I were an astronaut, I wish my first mission will be to the moon. However, I will have to undergo a very strict training to survive in space We all have seen the training videos of astronauts in DISCOVERY channel where they even undergo underwater training. Life in space will be different with zero gravity and so we will experience zero weight and will float freely. Wow!!!! that seems to be an exciting thing. But how we will eat and drink?

The circulatory and respiratory systems work together to circulate blood and oxygen throughout the body. Air moves in and out of the lungs through the trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles. Blood moves in and out of the lungs through the pulmonary arteries and veins that connect to the heart.

Is extensive loss of hair observed in humans and whales an example of homoplasy or homology? see section 25.1 (page 497) ?
marin [14]
I believe that hair and limbs are homology because all mammals have hair and similar limb structure. Hair loss and social behavior on the other hand are homolasy because not all mammals have them. Homology is the similar traits due to common ancestry while homoplasy is similar traits for other reasons other than common ancestry.
