The question is incomplete as it is incomplete therefore a picture of the complete question has been attached.

Answer:

To be used by the cells for energy

Explanation:

The digestive process of humans digest or breakdown or oxidise the organic molecules present in the food to simple compounds which could be easily utilised by the human body.

The human body composed of tissue and cell requires energy to perform metabolic reactions in the form of ATP which are provided by the digestion of the complex food material.

The macronutrients present in the food thus are digested and absorbed by the cells to perform reactions which could provide energy therefore the selected option is the correct answer.

Compare and contrast the two types of bonds

stepan [7]

Answer:

An ionic bond is formed between a metal and a non-metal. Covalent bonding is a form of chemical bonding between two non metallic atoms which is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms and other covalent bonds.

Explanation:

There are two types of atomic bonds - ionic bonds and covalent bonds. They differ in their structure and properties. Covalent bonds consist of pairs of electrons shared by two atoms, and bind the atoms in a fixed orientation. Relatively high energies are required to break them (50 - 200 kcal/mol). Whether two atoms can form a covalent bond depends upon their electronegativity i.e. the power of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself. If two atoms differ considerably in their electronegativity - as sodium and chloride do - then one of the atoms will lose its electron to the other atom. This results in a positively charged ion (cation) and negatively charged ion (anion). The bond between these two ions is called an ionic bond.

Sickle-cell trait is apparently an adaptation for the prevention of __________.

ikadub [295]

Sickle cell trait is apparently an adaptation for the prevention of Malaria. Sickle cell trait is a condition in which the red blood cells are abnormally shaped, if they inherit two faulty copies of the gene for the oxygen-carrying protein hemoglobin. The faulty gene persists because even carrying one copy of it confers some resistance to malaria. As a result, the frequencies of sickle cell carriers are high in malaria endemic areas.
