Answer:

By calculating the total calorific value of each food ingredients

Explanation:

Food’s energy content is due to its calorific values or the amount of calories it it. Carbohydrate, protein and fat are the major constituents of a food. Suppose, the amount of carbohydrate, protein and fat intake in an adult is  equal to X, Y and Z grams  

In one gram of carbohydrate , protein and fat there are 4 , 4 and 9 calories per gram  

Thus, the total calories in the food of adult will be equal to  

(X * 4 + Y * 4 + Z* 9) calories

Vinil7 [7]
<span>B is the correct answer. The beginning of DNA replication occurs with the unwinding of the DNA helix by a special enzyme. The two strands that form the helix then create a replication fork. The two strands are then oriented differently, one becoming the 'leading strand' and one the 'lagging strand'. </span>

What is the name of thespecific organelle that is studded with<br> ribosomes in a eukaryoticcell?
Alik [6]

Answer:

The (rough) endoplasmic reticulum

Explanation:

The endoplasmic reticulum is a system of interconnected membranes that functions in the synthesis of several membrane-related proteins and lipids. There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum in the eukaryotic cell;

  • Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
  • Rough endoplasmic reticulum

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is actually smooth because it has no ribosome attachment while the rough endoplasmic reticulum appears rough due to the attachment by ribosomes.

<em>Therefore, the name of the specific organelle that is studded with ribosomes in eukaryotic cell is endoplasmic reticulum.</em>

Give one example of a molecule using passive transport and one example of a molecule using active transport.
ruslelena [56]

One example of passive transport is diffusion, when molecules move from an area of high concentration (large amount) to an area of low concentration (low amount). Molecules are said to naturally flow down their concentration gradient
