Vegetarian diets can provide high levels of antioxidants and a lipid profile that can help prevent coronary disease. However, th

ere can be some associated problems. Blood samples were taken from a large group of volunteer subjects who were vegans (strict vegetarians: no animal products), lactovegetarians (vegetarians who eat dairy products), or omnivores (individuals with a normal, varied diet including meat). In each case, the volunteers had followed the diet for several years. The blood levels of both homocysteine and methylmalonate were elevated in the vegan group, somewhat lower in the lactovegetarian group, and much lower in the omnivore group. Choose the best explanation for the elevated blood levels of homocysteine and methylmalonate.1. Vitamin B12 (cobolamin) is missing from the vegan diet and very low in the lactovegetarian diet.2. Vitamin B9 (folic acid) is missing from the vegan diet and very low in the lactovegetarian diet.3. Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is missing from the vegan diet and very low in the lactovegetarian diet.4. Antioxidants in the both the vegan and lactovegetarian diets inhibit the formation of methionine from homocysteine

Answer: the best statement is 1 (Vitamin B12 (cobolamin) is missing from the vegan diet and very low in the lactovegetarian diet.)

Explanation:

Vitamin B12( cobalamin) is a water soluble vitamin that is essential in the formation of red blood cells. It also serves as a coenzyme in the metabolic reaction of the body. Such reaction includes:

- the remethylation of methionine from homocysteine which is catalyzed by methionine synthase and requires methylcobalamin.

The deficiency of vitamin B12 can lead to the following:

- elevated homocysteine ,

- an increase in methylmalonate

This is due to deficiencies in methionine synthase and methylmalonic acid mutase, respectively in individuals on vegan diet for several years.

Vegans are vegetarians that don't include diary or animal products in their meals. This predisposes them to lack of Vitamin B12. Dairy products provide some vitamin B12 in the lactovegetarian diet. Therefore statement 1 is the correct answer, thanks.

Which sentence explains why gases can change volume but liquids cannot?
choli [55]

Answer: Molecules of gas are usually far apart and can be compressed unlike molecules of liquids.

Explanation:

The molecules of gases are usually far apart, moving freely and randomly, occupying extra space in the containing vessel. Hence, when compressed to become closely packed, gases have lower volume.

However, unlike gases, the molecules of a liquid are restricted, move less freely and occupy no extra space. Hence, liquids cannot be compressed, and their volume remains the same in their containing vessel.

Describe Dalton’s atomic theory.
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Dalton's atomic theory was the first complete attempt to describe all matter in terms of atoms and their properties.

Dalton based his theory on the law of conservation of mass and the law of constant composition.

The first part of his theory states that all matter is made of atoms, which are indivisible.

The second part of the theory says all atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties.

The third part says compounds are combinations of two or more different types of atoms.

The fourth part of the theory states that a chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms.

Parts of the theory had to be modified based on the existence of subatomic particles and isotopes
