2. How are these nutrients used by your body?

1 answer:

7 0

The nutrients that the body breaks down into basic units are carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. From carbohydrates comes glucose, your body's -- especially the brain's -- primary form of fuel; from fats we get glycerol and fatty acids, many of which are essential ingredients in hormones and the protective sheath in our brain that covers communicating neurons; and from proteins we get amino acids, which are the building blocks to lots of structures, including our blood, muscle, skin, organs, antibodies, hair, and fingernails.

Each of these nutrients travels down a different pathway, but all can eventually fuel the body's production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is essentially our bodies' ultimate energy currency.

Rashid [163]

Answer:

C.Melt both cubes and look for a broader range of melting temperatures. The one that melts over a broader range of temperatures is the amorphous solid.

Explanation:

Amorphous solids is one that do not have a fixed melting points but melt over a wide range of temperature due to the irregular shape hence its name. Contrariwise crystalline solids, have a fixed and sharp melting point.

This comes in handy to solve the riddle. We can characterise the pair with the melting point property.

A solute is a strong electrolyte that ionizes into 2 ions. What is the molar mass of this solute if 30.76 grams added to exactly

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

34.9 g/mol is the molar mass for this solute

Explanation:

Formula for boiling point elevation: ΔT = Kb . m . i

ΔT = Temperatures 's difference between pure solvent and solution → 0.899°C

Kb = Ebullioscopic constant → 0.511°C/m

m = molality (moles of solute/1kg of solvent)

i = 2 → The solute is a strong electrolyte that ionizes into 2 ions
