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.

VMariaS [17]

Answer: it grows a tube to travel down to the ovary

Explanation:

As a result of pollination, pollen grain lands on the sigma of the pistil or carpel.  On the stigma pollen grain begins to germinate and grows a long pollen tube.  The pollen tube grows longer and makes its way from the stigma, down the style and reaches to the ovary. Pollen tube carries two male gametes or sex cells. One male gamete fertilize the egg cell to produce zygote and the gamete fuses with polar nuclei to form primary endosperm cell.
