Answer:

Homopolysaccharides

Explanation:

Homopolysaccharides are the polymers of many molecules of a single type of monosaccharide bonded together by glycosidic linkage.

Starch is a homopolysaccharide of glucose and consists of two types of glucose polymers: the unbranched amylose and the branched amylopectin.

Dietary fiber consists mainly of cellulose which in turn is a homopolysaccharide of D-glucose bonded together by beta (1->4) glycosidic linkage.

Answering the given question, starch and dietary fiber are classified as complex carbohydrates.

Complex carbohydrate is one of the types of Carbohydrate and is usually made up of sugar molecules that are notably long, more complex chains which takes the body longer time to digest them.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

Complex carbohydrates mostly contain vitamins, minerals and fibers, which can be found in foods such as beans, grains, peas, and vegetable, and hardly digest on time. Connotatively, they tend to have less immediate impact on blood sugar, as they make it to rise more slowly.

Importantly, Carbohydrates are one of the essential macronutrients that energize and shape the body. The other two are fat and protein. Also, carbohydrates are classified into three:

Sugars: They contain short chains of sugar molecules

Starches: They have longer chains of sugar molecules that should be broken down in the digestion system

Fibers: These are carbohydrates that cannot be the digested in the body.

Most of carbohydrates products come from complex carbohydrate and naturally containing sugars instead of refined or processed sugars, the others are from simple carbohydrate.

Additionally, complex and simple carbohydrates are transformed into glucose (which is known as blood sugar) and are usually used as energy. Notably, refined sugars are usually referred to as empty calories due to the fact that they contain less amount (or none) of nutritional value.

Answer: Oxygen

Explanation:I hope it helps . i have breifly explained it .

Oxygen gas is one of the products of photosynthesis.

Which reactant is the source for oxygen gas and how is it released?

A .

Water, released when sunlight splits it into oxygen and hydrogen ions

B .

Glucose, released when glucose is broken down into carbon dioxide gas, oxygen gas and water

C .

Carbon dioxide, released when sunlight splits it into carbon and oxygen gas

D .

Electrons, released when they strike the chloroplasts

Green plants capture energy and convert it into chemical energy by the process known as photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water are transformed into simple carbohydrates and oxygen is liberated into the atmosphere.

light

6CO2 + 12H2O ----------------> C6H12O6 + 6O2

chlorophyll

Water is also used as a source of hydrogen required for reduction of carbon dioxide to form carbohydrate.

Water is oxidised in presence of light and chlorophyll. Hydrogen is removed from water and oxygen is released as follows:

light

4‎H20 ---------------> 2‎H20 + 4H+ + 4e− + O2

chlorophyll

or,

2‎H2O ----------------> 4H+ + 4e− + O2

Hence the source for oxygen gas is water and it is released when water splits in the presence of sunlight into oxygen and hydrogen ions.

So, the correct answer is 'Water, released when sunlight splits it into oxygen and hydrogen ions'.

Normally, the hydrostatic pressure difference between capillary fluid and interstitial fluid favors movement of fluid __________

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

out of

into

Explanation:

As pressure exerts force, Hydrostatic pressure is a type of force that occurs in fluid e.g (interstitial fluids) on the walls of the capillary. The helps to carry fluid-like materials out of the tissue capillary. There are quite bunch of relative factors affecting the hydrostatic pressure which include; the liquid density and distance beneath the liquid surface,force of gravity.

On the other hand, The protein osmotic pressure difference between capillary fluid and interstitial fluid normally favors movement of fluid into a tissue capillary. This protein substances consist of albumin, plasma protein etc. From our knowledge of osmosis as well, we knew it is the movement of substances through a semi-permeable membrane from the region of higher concentration to a lower concentration. Therefore the protein osmotic pressure bring about movement of fluid like substances into the tissue capillary.
