Carbohydrates are sugars that come in 2 main forms - simple and complex. This is also referred to as simple sugars and starches. The difference between a simple and complex carb is in how quickly it is digested and absorbed - as well as it's chemical structure.

Simple carbohydrates provide energy but for only a short time.

EXAMPLES: foods: fructose – sugar in fruits; lactose – sugar in milk; Sucrose – table sugar.

Complex carbohydrates provide energy for a longer amount of time.

EXAMPLE FOODS: Wheat pastas, brown rice, whole grain breads, cereals.

A side note about haemochromatosis:

Haemochromatosis is a disease where there is too much iron is in the body.  It is the most common form of iron overload disease. There are two types of haemochromatosis: 

<span>Primary haemochromatosis is a genetic disorder inherited from family members.  People with this condition absorb too much iron and it ends up accumulating in the body, especially in the liver.   </span><span>Secondary haemochromatosis is caused by other blood-related disorders such as anaemia, or may be due to many blood transfusions, long term alcoholism and/or other health conditions.    </span><span>If left untreated, iron overload can lead to liver damage. That’s why it’s important to receive treatment as soon as possible after diagnosis to prevent further complications, including liver disease, liver cirrhosis, liver failure, liver cancer, heart disease, arthritis or diabetes. Some organ damage can be reversed if detected early enough and treated appropriately.

cigarettes

If you smoke cigarettes there’s a chance that you are causing damage to your liver – increasing your risk of developing liver cancer and decreasing your liver’s ability to rid your body of dangerous toxins. In turn, this could leave you more susceptible to the damaging effects of some medications on the liver too. </span>

What would happen if a cell transcribed and translated a gene’s intron by mistake?
wariber [46]

An intron is a non-coding region of DNA. During alternative splicing, introns are removed.

  • During eukaryotic transcription, a fragment of DNA (e.g., a gene) is used as a template to synthesize a complementary RNA sequence, usually a precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA).

  • Subsequently, this pre-mRNA is processed by a mechanism called alternative splicing in order to produce a mature mRNA which is then used as template to synthesize a protein by a process called translation.

  • During alternative splicing, non-coding regions of a gene called 'introns' are removed, where coding regions called 'exons' are spliced back together.

  • If a cell transcribed and translated a gene’s intron by mistake, then additional amino acids would be inserted into the protein and therefore the resulting protein will be longer than normal.

Difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

The main difference is the presence of a nucleus.

Explanation:

One of the biggest differences is the presence of a nucleus with an envelope. This is very important because in eukaryotes it is present, but in prokaryotes, the genetic material is in the cytosol, although it's not exactly dispersed, it's slightly grouped. Also, the DNA in prokaryotes is organized in circular chromosomes while in eukaryotes it's organized in linear chromosomes arranged in an X shape. There are many more differences, but these two are the more important ones.
