Answer:

Use cooking methods that minimize/eliminate contact with water.

Explanation:

Vitamins are important nutrients found in fruits and vegetables. Vitamins can be easily leached out and it is therefore recommended that the vegetables should be consumed immediately after purchase or stored in an airtight container.

The use of cooking method that eliminate contact with water such as freezing, keeping in a close container will help retain the vitamins, reduce degradation rate and prevent it form been lost.

Cutting will allow easy definition of vitamins and result in its lost.

How many different ways does/could energy change form during its travels between the Sun and your stomach?
iris [78.8K]

Energy will take the path from sun to stomach as sun's energy to chemical energy followed by thermal and mechanical energy.

Explanation:

The energy of the sun is in the from of chemical energy which is the ultimate basis of life on earth . The process of photosynthesis occurs to form a chemical compound named glucose. The food ingested is in polymer complex forms as protein, carbohydrate, fats etc which is broken into monomers for absorption in intestine and stomach.

The dietary compound has energy stored in their bonds as chemical energy.

So, from sun human consume chemical energy which is stored in food.

The energy even if consumed by eating meat is also chemical energy which is stored as potential energy.

The breakdown of food or chemical energy into monomers leads to release of thermal energy or heat to maintain optimum body temperature.

Chemical energy also gets converted to mechanical energy which allows functioning of vital organs and movement of body.

Which is the best definition of a phylogenetic tree?
Oliga [24]
The evolutionary history of a group of organisms especially as depicted in a family tree diagram showing the evolutionary interrelations of a group of organisms derived from a common ancestral form. The ancestor is in the tree “trunk”; organisms that have arisen from it are placed at the ends of tree “branches.” The distance of one group from the other groups indicates the degree of relationship; i.e., closely related groups are located on branches close to one another. Phylogenetic trees, although speculative, provide a convenient method for studying phylogenetic relationships.

An enzyme that can bind to and break apart molecules of lactose should also be able to bind: a. fatty acids. b. amino acids. c.
Airida [17]

Answer: Option E) None of the above is true; this enzyme could bind none of these.

Explanation:

Lactose is a dissacharide composed of glucose and galactose. Hence, the enzyme lactase break down lactose into its simple sugar constituents.

However, lactase cannot bind nor break down amino acids, starch (with only glucose units) or sucrose (with two glucose units) because their constituent molecules differ markedly from that of lactose.

Thus, the enzyme lactase could bind with none of the options provided except lactose
