Answer:

The food containing 200 calorie have less potential energy than the food containing 300 calorie

Explanation:

The potential energy content of a food material is its stored energy content which is in the form of chemical bonds. This energy can be measured through the combustion of food material inside a calorimeter. A calorimeter is an instrument which is used to measure the total calorie content of the food or other biological samples by measuring its heat content. A Calorie is unit of energy which is in form of heat.

The food material containing carbohydrates proteins and fats have energy in form of chemical bonds. On the breaking of bond inside the body, energy is released as in the case of glucose breakdown also known as glycolysis.

The energy released from glycolysis is used to synthesize high energy containing phosphoanhydride bonds. These ATP molecules are a further breakdown in the system to provide energy to the cell to perform various activities.

Sarah turns quickly and sees the soccer ball hurtling toward her face. She blinks and ducks for cover. During this reaction, Sar

balandron [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is: C.

Explanation:

The given situation is the example of a Reflex Action.
Reflex action can be defined as an action shown in response to a sudden stimulus.
The CNS or the Central Nervous System is comprised of the Brain and the Spinal Cord which receives the Sensory impulses from the Receptor organ, integrates or decides on the response which needs to be provided and then sends the Response impulses to the Effector organ.
The PNS or the Peripheral Nervous System is comprised of the sensory and motor neurons those are responsible for connecting the Sensory organ and the Motor organ to the CNS, respectively.
In the situation, Sarah's eyes perceives the ball and sends sensory impulses through the optic nerve containing the sensory neurons (PNS) to the spinal cord.
The spinal cord possess inter-neurons (CNS) that decides over the action to be done in response to the stimulus.
The Response stimulus is send from the inter-neurons via the motor neurons (PNS) to the eye muscles of Sarah and Sarah performs the action, that is, she blinks.

katrin [286]

Answer

Option B. This mutation will increase the sensitivity of the DPH receptor to voltage changes, which will induce continued muscle contraction.

Explanation:

Since the receptor stays open, it allows for calcium to be released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum and thus, enables muscle contraction to take place.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
