To test for the presence of reducing sugars, a food sample is dissolved in boiling water. Next, a small amount of Benedict's reagent is added and the solution begins to cool. During the next four to 10 minutes, the solution should begin to change colors. If the color changes to blue, then no glucose is present. If a high amount of glucose is present, then the color change will progress to green, yellow, orange, red and then a dark red or brown.
Answer:
directional selection
Explanation:
Directional selection is the most common type of natural selection and occurs when some individuals with characteristics favorable to the conditions of the environment in which they live, have survival advantages over individuals who do not have this advantage, who end up dying.
Imagine, for example, a graph showing the directional selection in the same species of moths. Moths of the same species have white and brown collations, in summer, brown moths can camouflage themselves on tree trunks, while white moths cannot and are easily captured by their predators, which means that the amount of white moths decrease. In this graph, the population of white moths would be at a minimum, at the same time that the population of brown moths would be at maximum.
However, with the arrival of the reverse, snow begins to cover the trees, allowing white moths to camouflage themselves more easily. The brown moths, then, are very exposed to predators, causing their population to reach the minimum while the population of white moths reaches the maximum.
Answer:
The correct answer is: mutualism
Explanation:
Mutualism refers to a relationship between two organisms, where both organisms benefit from the association. In this instance, the relationship between cellulose-digesting microorganisms and their hosts- termites and ruminant mammals- is characterized by mutualism because both organism benefit from their association. The microorganisms benefit by getting their nutrition from the cellulose in guts of their hosts. Whereas, the hosts benefit from the cellulose-digesting microorganisms by getting help in digesting the cellulose they consume in their diet.
Answer:
A tan might indicate sun damage to the skin.
Explanation:
Tanning is the process by which the skin is exposed to the ultraviolet rays that comes from the sun with the purpose of producing a dark-brown coloration called a TAN.
A tan achieved by exposure to the sun can actually indicate that a person's skin is undergoing damage from the UV rays of the sun, hence, the skin responds by producing a protein called melanin, which protects the skin and later forms the dark coloration- tan. From this explanation, tan is got in response to a damaging signal received by the cell, hence, a tan might indicate sun damage to the skin.
Alright hopefully this isn't to confusing but, Glycolysis is the first step in the breakdown of glucose to extract energy for cellular metabolism. Also most living organisms carry out "glycolysis" as part of their metabolism. Last but not least, the process doesn't even use oxygen it takes place in anaerobic conditions.
