Eating potatoes with the skin as opposed to without the skin can increase dietary fiber intake. A medium-size baked potato weigh

s 173 grams. In Track Diet, compare Potatoes, White, Flesh and Skin (173 grams) with Potatoes, Baked, Flesh Only (173 grams).

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.

Fill in each blank with the type of energy being described
Sladkaya [172]

The sun gives off _solar___energy, which enters the atmosphere. Plants absorb some of the energy  and perform photosynthesis to convert it into_chemical__energy in the form of sugars. Plants and the  animals that eat them then turn that energy into a different form of _chemical___ energy, in the form of  ATP. When plants and animals use the energy, it becomes _heat_ energy.

The energy producing process for life starts with the use of solar energy by plants in photosynthesis. Green plants takes up solar energy from the sun and uses it to manufacture sugar and oxygen gas in the presence of carbon dioxide and water. The sugar stores chemical energy.

When the food produced by plant is eaten, during cellular respiration, the ATP formed from break down of the food is used to liberate heat energy. The bond between the second phosphate element is broken down and heat energy is released from the stored chemical energy.

This gives off carbon dioxide and water as the by product.

It might be C, since potential energy is stored energy. That includes gravitational energy, and at this point the ball is at its highest so it has more gravitational pull which equals more potential energy

pshichka [43]
Mutations occur in both germ cells and somatic cells, but the consequences of both are different. Mutations in somatic cells are called somatic mutations. In this case, if mutations occur in somatic cells, they can develop diseases, or start the cancerous process. They give rise to all non-germ line tissues because they do not occur in cells that give rise to gametes.
In addition to this, a process known as teratogenesis may occur, which may end up with congenital defects, disorders, and syndromes. During the process, genetic changes may cause alterations in the baby during the embryonic phase of the pregnancy.<span>
