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.

Write an 2 paragraphs about germination! PLEASE ASAP ☹
balu736 [363]

Germination is a process where plants and other organisms emerge from gymnosperm/angiosperm seeds and start their growth. Gymnosperms are seeds that are not protected by an ovule. Angiosperms are vascular plants that grow fruit and flowers, which are protected by ovule. Sprouting of a seedling from a seed is an example of germination. Fully developed seeds contain an embryo, that store food reserves and are wrapped in the seed coat. Some factors of successful germination include water, oxygen, temperature, type of soil, and light intake.

Were there many or few vessels serving as conduits between the lungs and the heart? why is this important?
EastWind [94]
True, there are many vessels serving as a conduit<span> between the lungs and the heart. 

The number of the vessel is many because all the carbon dioxide from body need to be released at the lungs. More vessel means more surface area and blood flow rate to do the diffusion of the gas which means increased diffusion rate. This will allow the lung to transfer oxygen and dump carbon dioxide faster.</span>
