The correct answer is glycemic load.
In particular, glycemic load estimates the amount of carbohydrates in a serving of food and how each gram of these carbohydrates can affect the blood glucose. It is a measure commonly used in weight-loss programmes and in dietary programs used to treat insulin resistance. It has been shown that common spikes of blood glucose and insulin levels, increase the risk for diabetes.

Answer: Glycemic load

This takes into account the amount of carbohydrates present in the food and how much it will raise a person's <span>blood glucose level after eating a typical serving size meal. Glycemic load combines both the quantity and quality of carbohydrates based on the glycemic index <span> where it is calculated by multiplying the grams of available carbohydrate in the food times the food's glycemic index and then dividing by 100.</span></span> Moreover, it is also used to compare blood glucose values of different types and amounts of foods based on the carbohydrate consumed by an individual.

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

This question is describing the processes involved in photosynthesis. In the light-dependent stage of photosynthesis, specifically photosystem II (PSII), water is oxidized in a process called PHOTOLYSIS OF WATER. This process produces electrons and Hydrogen ions (H+). The electrons produced via this process is accepted by NAD+ to yield NADH.

The NADH is an electron carrier produced during the light-dependent stage and used to reduce 3-phsophoglycerate (PGA) produced in the light-independent stage to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P).

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

A mutation in the DNA sequence of the gene for brown fur  

Explanation:

The mutations are capable of changing the encoded protein product, in this case the gene that encodes for the fur color pigment. This mutation may have occurred during mitosis or meiosis divisions.

If it is a spontaneous mutation that occurred in the germinal line (meiosis) and confers an adaptive advantage, it will increase their frequency in the population.
