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.

<span>Conservation strategies that set aside ecosystems for preservation </span>are the best way to preserve an area's diversity.
The World Wildlife Fund says that the conservation strategies that focus on ecosystems for preservation have an impact on preserving and area's diversity because it is a complete, healthy ecosystem, filled with all that is part of it, that will maintain the diversity of its area - for example, if a species of a tree from a certain ecosystem was to be extinct, not only that species would disappear, reducing already by itself the diversity of the area, but it would also affect other species taking them probably also to eventual extinction, once more reducing the diversity of the area.

This is the unequal distribution of ions across a cell membrane.
Nady [450]

Answer:

Concentration gradient

Explanation:

Concentration gradient of the ions across the membrane generates the membrane resting potential.

Concentration gradient means that there is unequal distribution of the ions on different sides of membrane. For example, the concentration of K ions is much higher within the cell then out of the cell. Opposite is with the Na ions. When ions move from the area of their higher concentration to the are with the lower concentration, we say they move down the gradient or diffuse (no energy required). On the other hand, movement of ions against their gradient means that this process requires energy and involves protein pumps.
