Nutrition labels diagram1 - Start with the serving information at the top.

This will tell you the size of a single serving and the total number of servings per container (package).

2 - Next, check total calories per serving and container.

Pay attention to the calories per serving and how many calories you’re really consuming if you eat the whole package. If you double the servings you eat, you double the calories and nutrients.

The next section of information on a nutrition label is about the amounts of specific nutrients in the product.

3 - Limit certain nutrients.

Check key nutrients and understand what you’re looking for. Not all fats are bad , and total sugars can include both natural and added sugars. Limit the amounts of added sugars , saturated fat and sodium you eat, and avoid trans fat. When choosing among different brands or similar products, compare labels and choose foods with less of these nutrients when possible..

4 - Get enough of the beneficial nutrients.

Make sure you get enough of the nutrients your body needs, such as: calcium, choline, dietary fiber, iron, magnesium, potassium, and vitamins A, C, D and E.*

5 - Understand % Daily Value.

The % Daily Value (DV) tells you the percentage of each nutrient in a single serving, in terms of the daily recommended amount. If you want to consume less of a nutrient (such as saturated fat or sodium), choose foods with a lower % DV (5 percent or less). If you want to consume more of a nutrient (such as fiber), choose foods with a higher % DV (20 percent or more).

Here are more tips for getting as much health information as possible from the Nutrition Facts label:

Remember that the information shown in the label is based on a diet of 2,000 calories a day. You may need less or more than 2,000 calories depending upon your age, gender, activity level, and whether you’re trying to lose, gain or maintain your weight.

When the Nutrition Facts label says a food contains “0 g” of trans fat, but includes “partially hydrogenated oil” in the ingredient list, it means the food contains some trans fat, but less than 0.5 grams per serving. So, if you eat more than one serving, you could end up eating too much trans fat.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the Nutrition Facts label seen on packaged foods and drinks. In 2016, the FDA released changes to the label to make it easier to see how many calories and added sugars are in a product and to make serving sizes more realistic. These changes are still being implemented throughout the food industry, so for now you may see the redesigned version shown here or the old original version.

As the question is incomplete and there are no statements available based on which the question can be answered. But based on the knowledge it can be answered.

Answer:

Most of the corals contains photosynthetic algae which are known as zooxanthllae which lives in the tissues of the corals. Algae and corals have mutualistic relationship.

The corals provide algae space to live and algae provides coral  food such as glucose and glycerols to them which are considered as products of photosynthesis.

If the producers are hampered by the catastrophic event then the main source of the food will be hampered. There will be less or no food source for the corals which covers a large area in the marine ecosystem.

There are chances that there will be more load on the other photosynthetic organism in water as there will be more population dependent on them for food.

Hence, if there is a loss of habitat for these protist other levels of food chain will be affected due to inter connection.

Replication starts at the ORIGIN OF REPLICATION.
In prokaryotes which has close double stranded DNA molecule, replication usually starts from a single origin of replication and it proceeds around the circle bidirectionally, that is, in both directions. The process of replication in prokaryotes is very rapid and it produces only a few errors.<span />

Because they lack well-defined and complex organ systems, we hypothesize that _____ diverged from all other animals early in the
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Poriferans.

Explanation:

The evolution of the organisms has been occur from the simple organisms and leads to the evolution of the more complex organisms. This complexity arises due to the changing environment of the organisms.

The protozoans are the simplest organisms and all the other animal lineage has been derived from the porifera. The porifera are the cellular organisms that  do not have tissue level of organization and simple physiological system. Later, diverse and complex organisms arise from the porifera.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).
