Answer:
A desirable intake of dietary fiber is 20-35 grams daily, according to the American Dietetic Association.
Explanation:
Dietary fiber has always been a part of a healthy, balanced eating lifestyle. Fiber has 2 types, soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber is a <u>gelatin-like</u> substance when combined with water and when ingested, <u>can help slow the travel of food in the gut, making you feel</u> <em>"full."</em> Insoluble fiber or roughage is the <u>bulk-forming type</u>. It <u>holds water</u> in its structure, helping <u>regulate the bowel movements.</u>
Fiber, being a <u>complex carbohydrate</u>, can help <u>lessen the risk of an increase of bad cholesterol and blood sugar</u>. Examples of fiber-rich foods are whole grain products, barley, oats, grapes, etc.
Answer:
Current Air Temperature
The current air temperature plotted to the nearest whole degree Fahrenheit.
Dew Point Temperature
The dew point temperature plotted to the nearest whole degree Fahrenheit.
Sky Cover
The total amount of clouds in tenth. Plotted in the station circle according the the following table.
Wind Speed And Direction
The wind direction is plotted as the shaft of an arrow extending from the station circle toward the direction from which the wind is blowing. The wind speed is plotted as feathers and half-feathers representing 10 and 5 knots, on the shaft on the wind direction arrow. See the following table.
Visibility
The visibility plotted in fractions of a mile. For values above 10 miles, the values are omitted from the map.
Sea Level Pressure
The barometric pressure in tenths of millibars reduced to sea level. The initial 9 or 10 and the decimal points are omitted.
ex: plotted = 982, actual = 998.2 mb
ex: plotted = 012, actual = 1001.2 mb
Pressure Tendency
The pressure change in the past 3 hours preceding the observation. Plotted to the nearest tenth of a millibar. The plotted symbol characterizes the change in pressure according to the below chart.
Tundra and deserts are two biomes of the world which represent the extreme form of climates. Tudra is the coldest region of the earth while desert represent the hottest zones of the earth. But whats the most common thing in these extreme zones is that they receive very less precipitation throughout the year (less than 25 cm).
Therefore, flora of the desert and Tundra have some special adaptations to survive without sufficient amount of water.
Let's see what are those:
- The height of plants growing in Tundra is very less like lesser than 1 foot. The short structure of the plants helps them to get more heat from the dark soil and helps to survive freezing. The short height lets them stay protected from harsh effects of cold or snow.
- The plants in tundra grow in groups or clumps that helps them in surviving the attacks of ice particles or snow balls. For example: lousewort and Arctic crocus.
- Some flora of tundra has ability to grow even in the complete lack of water for several years.This is because they have waxy layers that cover the leaves and store maximum water for the periods of no availability.
- Some plants have hair on the surface of stems that trap maximum heat and protect the plant from heat and extreme forms of wind. For example: Arctic crocus.
- Desert plants not only have physiological but also morphological adaptations to survive heat stress and shortage of water. Their stems, roots and leaves are fleshy and help them to store water for a large period of time. For example: Cactus
- Many desert plants like <em>xerophytic bromeliads</em> and <em>epiphytic orchids </em>contain a system alternate of photosynthesis called CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism). This process helps the plant to open the stomata at night for exchange of gases and accumulate CO2. In day, stomata are closed and the CO2 is used for photosynthesis. This is an adaptation, because during night when temperature is low, CAM plants lose less water as compared to what normal plants lose during day.
- Some plants have extremely large roots that absorb maximum water from soil and compensate the plant's loss of water due to heat. For example: Phreatophytes.
- Some Perennial plants have adapted the mechanism to stay in condition of rest or dormant during extreme heat. They get back to normal life when weather become a bit better.
Hope it helps! :)
I would say the nucleotides
Cytosine
Guanine
Adenine
Thymine
