When the two hydrogen atoms bond with the oxygen, they attach to the top of the molecule rather like Mickey Mouse ears. This molecular structure gives the water molecule polarity, or a lopsided electrical charge that attracts other atoms.

True or false: single sugars are too large to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The sugars on the basis of the number of glucose or sugar units can be categorized into two categories:

1. Simple sugars: The sugars which contain one or two sugar units called mono and disaccharides.

2. Complex sugars: The sugars which contain more than two sugar units are complex sugars.

The simple sugars like glucose, galactose are easily digested by the digestive system of the human body and easily absorbed by the cells.

Since the simple sugars or simple sugars are small in their structure compared to the complex carbohydrates therefore false is the correct answer.

Would you expect a shrub or dandelion (dispersed by wind-blown seed) to be a more likely pioneer plant species? why? Thank you s

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Dandelions may appear quicker after harsh conditions and reproduce at a faster rate. However, both dandelions and shrubs are considered fast-growing plant species that can be categorized as pioneer species.

Explanation:

Secondary succession refers to the changes that take place in a disturbed habitat. Pioneer plant species are those that colonize new habitats after harsh climate conditions and that tend to reproduce at a fast rate.

According to researcher J.W. Darlling (2008), pioneer herbs and shrubs are species that tend to grow faster in comparison to other species, making them excellent pioneer species.

This occurs thanks to plants that are wind-pollinated, such as dandelions, have a higher chance to appear because, as it is a disturbed environment, there are no insects or other fauna present. In addition, shrubs are persistent species that are able to reproduce fast with limited soil availability but a bit slower in comparison to dandelions.
