Answer:

  • <em><u>There are 1.6g more of fiber in the the potato with skin than the potato with flesh only</u></em>

<em><u /></em>

Explanation:

In the internet, you can find that a regular potato (medium-sized) with the skin contains about 4 grams of fiber; and half that is  in the skin , thus a potato without skin contains about 2 grams of fiber.

In other site, I found that the source used to deal with this question states 4.2 grams of fiber for <em>White, Flesh and Skin (173 grams)</em> and <em>2.6 grams for Potatoes, Baked, Flesh Only (173 grams)</em>.

Therefore, using the second reference, the differnce in the amount of fiber, in grams,  for the potato with skin and the potato with flesh only is:

  • 4.2g - 2.6g = 1.6g

The answer is that there are 1.6g more of fiber in the the potato with skin than the potato with flesh only.

Furkat [3]
The red blood cells would look just fine or normal in the person who has drowned. Water wouldn't be lost because it wouldn't be attracted to the concentration of the salt water and the salt water would be too large to break the barriers.

Energy is released from ATP when
ycow [4]

Answer: The correct answer for the blank is-

Energy is released from ATP ( adenosine triphosphate) when high energy phosphoanhydride bond ( present between two phosphate) is broken down or hydrolyzed.

This results in the formation of ADP ( adenosine diphosphate) and Pi ( inorganic phosphate).

Therefore, hydrolysis of ATP releases energy.
