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.

Heart rate decreased suddenly and then MAP immediately fell because peripheral blood vessels were extensively vasodilated.

Explanation:

A VO2 max test is a clinical test done in a lab and is the ‘golden standard’ for measuring the potential and cardio-respiratory endurance of athletes and bikers.

It measures the oxygen carrying capability through a graded step test which determines the average power output. The maximal oxygen uptake along with cardiorespiratory responses is measured.

As per exercise physiology, the heart rate and cardiac output increases with exercise. When the potential is less, the resistance decreases, heart rate and mean arterial pressure also decrease .

The transition from an afferent arteriole to an efferent arteriole occurs in the
timofeeve [1]

Answer: A. glomerulus.  

Explanation:

Each kidney has about 1 million nephrons, the urine-forming unit, and each nephron is made up of a glomerulus (capillaries walls) and renal tubules. The glomerular is constituted by the capillaries walls, which branch out and form a network, covered by the Bowman's capsule that retains the liquid, and begin to form a sequence of tubes.

The blood reaches the kidneys through the renal artery, which branches into the afferent arterioles that attach to the glomerular capillaries (where blood is filtrated), then form the efferent arteriole, which again becomes capillaries - the peritubular capillaries, which surrounds the renal tubules.

Which of the following statements is true about an endergonic reaction?
luda_lava [24]
For an endergonic reaction, the statement ΔG is positive is the true statement. So the first option in the given question is the correct option. Any reaction that requires energy to be absorbed is called an endergonic reaction. For example, photosynthesis is a great example of endergonic reaction. In photosynthesis sunlight is required to be absorbed to complete the reaction. The sunlight acts as the energy required. This type of reaction is never spontaneous, but requires external force to complete the reaction.
