How many calories are provided by a food that contains 29 grams of carbohydrate, 6 grams of protein, and 1 gram of fat?
Andrej [43]
Energy (caloric) value of foods is indicated by calories, which measure the amount of heat that the food releases in the metabolic process. In physiology, it is determined by the energy balance of the organism, ie the heat exchange between the organism and the external environment.
Calories of nutrients:
1 g of protein = 4 kcal (kilocalories)
1 g of fat = 9 kcal
1 g of carbohydrates = 4 kcal
1 g of alcohol = 7 kcal
1 g of organic acid = 3 kcal

According to the table above, we can calculate required value:

29x4 + 6x4  + 1x9= 149 kcal/g

(1) Ca2+ enters axon terminal. (2) Ligand-gated ion channels open in postsynaptic membrane. (3) Neurotransmitter binds to postsy
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

These are the events occurring at synapse for the transmission of nerve impulse across the synapse from one neuron to another. The order of events is as follows: 4 - 1 - 5 - 3 - 2.

Explanation:

The correct order of events during the transmission of nerve impulse from one neuron to another is as follows:

4) Action potential reaches axon terminal of presynaptic neuron.

1)  Ca2+ enters axon terminal.

5) Neurotransmitter released by exocytosis.

3) Neurotransmitter binds to postsynaptic receptor.

2) Ligand-gated ion channels open in postsynaptic membrane.

- The transmission across the synapse can be either electrical or chemical. Here is this case we are talking about chemical transmission.

- When the action potential reaches the axon terminal, the voltage gated calcium channels open and there is influx of calcium from the synapse.

- This causes the fusion of synaptic vesicles with the membrane and exocytosis of neurotransmitter.

- These neurotransmitters bind to the receptors on post synaptic membrane and cause opening or closing of voltage gated channels.

Please help: Which process in plant physiology could not occur if the opening of the undersides leaves are closed?
lapo4ka [179]

A)Photosynthesis

Explanation:

  • Photosynthesis is the process by which green plant prepare glucose using carbon dioxide and water in presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.
  • The openings on the undersurface of the leaves are called stomata.
  • Stomata play a vital role in exchange of gases between tissues and the surrounding.
  • If these openings remain closed then carbon dioxide will not diffuse into the cells and oxygen will not diffuse out of the cell.
  • As a result,  photosynthesis will not take place and the plants will die due to lack of food and nutrients.
