Answer:
Feeds that are high in energy include greater than 70% Total Digestible Nutrients (TDN) and low in fibre includes less than 18% Carbon fibers (CF) and less than 20% protein.
Feeds with low fiber content and a high nutrient content includes Cereal grains such as wheat, barley, corn, oats, rye, and sorghum grain.
By starch, I'm assuming you mean glycogen, or animal starch.
Similarities:
Both are polysaccharide molecules made from glucose molecules linked together in a long chain.
Both are storehouses of energy.
Differences:
Glycogen is made in animal cells and is the only form of starch animals can digest (unless they have certain microbes in their intestinal tracts to break down cellulose, which all herbivores need).
Cellulose is made in plant cells.
The bonds are a bit different; the molecules are isomers. Glycogen bonds with what is called an alpha 1,4 bond, meaning that the first carbon of one glucose molecule is bonded to the 4th carbon of the next glucose molecule, but in a way that puts the bonds in a shape that falls below the plane of the molecule, and allows branching.
Cellulose bonds with beta 1,4 bonds. The first and fourth carbons of adjoining glucose molecules are still connected, but the shape of the bond falls above the plane of the molecule and does not branch.
Since enzymes are specific to their substrates, the enzymes shaped to fit glycogen bonds do not fit on cellulose bonds, which is why animals cannot digest cellulose on their own. In herbivores, there are microbes in their digestive tracts which can produce enzymes to break these bonds so the glucose can be used. In carnivores and omnivores like humans, there is no enzyme to break down cellulose so it becomes 'roughage' in our diets. It passes through the digestive tract without being broken down.
Answer:
what you change vs what you are testing
Explanation:
The independent variable is the variable that you change. For example, if we were growing plants and wanted to see if more sun made them grow higher, you would change the amount of sun that each plant is exposed to.
The dependent variable is what you measure. This depends on the independent variable. So, in our plant experiment, the height of the plant is the dependent variable.
Control. The control is what stays the same. So in our plant experiment, the amount of water, type of plant, type of soil, and all of these things would stay the same to insure that the results are equal.
You affect the independent variable and the control and you test the dependent variable.
A nurse can
identify possible developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) during a newborn
assessment through asymmetry of the gluteal folds. Asymmetrical buttock creases can
suggest hip dysplasia in infants but an ultrasound or x-ray study will need to
be done to determine whether the hips are normal or not just like a hip click.
Answer:
The selenium particles when coated on paper towels were extremely effective and continuously inhibited (about a 90% reduction) the growth of gram-positive bacteria including S. aureus and S. epidermidis after 24, 48, or 72 hours.
