Answer:

Option-C

Explanation:

The sugar alcohols are the carbohydrates which are neither considered sugars nor alcohols but they partially resemble the structure of both of these sugars and alcohol.

The sugar alcohols are naturally present in the vegetables and fruits but they are also artificially synthesised like xylitol, lactitol, mannitol and others.

They are considered the alternative from of sugar but they provide less energy as compared to carbohydrates like they provide about 0-3 kcal per gram whereas sugar provides 4 kcal per gram.

This difference is due to the reason that they are not completely absorbed by the human body and also they are incompletely metabolized therefore provide less energy.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

One character in peas that Mendel studied was yellow versus green seeds.
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Mendel was an Austrian monk whose researches laid the foundation of genetics. The experiments conducted by Mendel led him to the foundation of two laws which are named as the law of segregation and law of independent assortment.

According to the law of segregation, the two alleles of a gene segregate during the time of gamete formation and there are 50-50% chances of each of the alleles to be received by the gametes. Hence, there are 50% chances for Y gametes to be produced and 50% chances for y gametes to be produced.

In what way is surface area more important for cells than volume?
Virty [35]

Answer:

As a cell grows in size, the surface area gets bigger, but the volume gets bigger faster. Thinking about this as a ratio (division), the volume is the denominator and the surface area is the numerator. If the volume is getting very big, then the ratio itself will be getting very small.
