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).
A) How many more grams of fiber are in the potato with skin than the potato with flesh only?

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.

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Ventral

Explanation:

This is because when you want to dissect a pig, it's back is place on a dissecting tray and it's belly side is up which is the ventral side. With the ventral side, dissection will be easy and the major organs and systems can be observed easily as they will be rightly viewed because they are obvious and rightly placed at belly side up.

Your friend brings you rocks with a thick layer of oxidation weathering, and no other visible signs of weathering. this is a clu
Vsevolod [243]
<span>A moist environment because physical weathering processes such as oxidation take place most quickly in the presence of water. There are three types of weathering, physical, chemical, and biological. For the physical weathering, there are two main types. Freeze-thaw cycles and exfoliation. Obviously the freeze-thaw cycles require water and the exfoliation generally happens through thermal expansion and contraction which doesn't require water. But since neither of these mechanisms were observed, that doesn't indicate if the area was wet or dry. Biological weathering is caused by plants or animals breaking down rocks via chemical (acid) or mechanical (root growth) means. Life generally indicates the presence of water, but since this form of weathering wasn't observed, we still don't have enough data. Chemical weathering is caused by rain water reacting with the rocks to form new minerals and salts. There are several types such as acidic rainwater dissolving part of the rock, and oxidation. With this in mind, let's take a look at the available options. A moist environment because there is a greater density of oxygen in the atmosphere in the presence of water. * Yes, we need a moist environment, but the density of oxygen is fairly constant world wide regardless of how moist or dry the environment is. So this is a bad choice. A moist environment because physical weathering processes such as oxidation take place most quickly in the presence of water. * Water speeds up chemical weathering of all types. So this is the correct choice. A dry environment because the increased albedo of deserts encourages physical weathering processes such as oxidation. * Yes, the increased albedo of deserts does speed up spalling, but oxidation is a CHEMICAL weathering process, not a PHYSICAL one. So this is a bad choice. A dry environment because in the absence of water oxidation is the dominant weathering process. * Water speeds up oxidation quite a bit. And since the observed oxidation is thick, there's been quite a bit of weathering. So this is a bad choice.</span>

A. Secretes hormones
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

A. 3

B. 4

C. 5

D. 6

E. 2

F. 1

Explanation:

1. Integumentary system.

This is an organ system that consists of hair, skin, nails and exocrine glands with receptors that senses the outer stimulus and environmental conditions, through homeostasis maintain stability of the internal environment.

2. Nervous system.

It receives sensory information and signals, convert them to nerve impulses that are transmitted to the body and brain via the spinal cord using nuerons and axons. It also intergrates, retains and analyses information in the brain.

3.Endocrine system.

Secretes hormones and chemicals in response to stimulus from the nervous system to maintain balance using feedback loops i.e, negative and positive.

4. Lymphatic system.

Part of the immune system that consist of vessels that carries lymph, cleaning the blood by filtering lymph with foreign particles into the lymph node.

5. Urinary system.

Used to eliminate waste from the body, regulates blood pressure, volume and pH. It also used to retain electrolytes and metabolites.

6. Respiratory system.

Used for gaseous exchange using the blood, heart and lungs. Air enters the lungs, transported by blood and is pumped by the heart to all body parts where oxygen is dropped, carbon dioxide is collected by the veins to the lungs and released to the atmosphere.
