While watching Saturday morning cartoons, Justine’s daughter Claire saw a commercial for a high-fat, high-sugar toaster pastry m

arketed to children. At the grocery store, Claire sees the product and begs her mom to buy it. Justine is appalled to see one pastry has 300 kilocalories, 10 grams of fat, and 6 grams of saturated fat. Although the pastry has 3 grams of dietary fiber, Justine notices it does not state "good source of fiber" on the front of the packaging like some other foods with 3 grams of fiber. Why can’t this food be called a "good source" of fiber?

Answer:

The roughage or fiber is important part of the diet as it improves the digestion and  lowers the heart related disease. Two main two types of fiber are insoluble fiber and soluble fiber.

The pastry is not a good source of fiber as it contains around 4 gm of saturated fat. The amount of fat ( 13 gm), cholesterol ( 60 milligram) and sodium is more than the prescribed values for the individuals diet. The amount of fiber also depends on the other food ingredients as well.

If you were a house, a contractor who hired two sub-contractors to help work on the house would be most like which type of bone
GaryK [48]

Answer:

A contractor who hired two sub-contractors to help work on the house would be most like to osteoblast.

Explanation:

Osteoblasts are cells that build bone, just like contractors build a house. They are cells capable of synthesizing the bone matrix, allowing the formation and growth of bone.

As bone-forming cells, osteoblasts have a large number of mitochondria and a developed Golgi apparatus. They can multiply until they are covered by the bone matrix, becoming known as osteocytes.

The other options are not correct because:

  • <em>Osteogenic : related to bone.</em>
  • <em>Osteocycle : bone cell in its mature shape.</em>
  • <em>Osteococlast : cells capable of remodeling the bone, breaking it and allowing the action of the osteoblasts.</em>
