Before starch can enter a cell it must be digested to form simple sugars. Why?

1 answer:

5 0

Starch is a high molecular weight substance; therefore, it is insoluble to our cells. It needs to be broken down to simple sugars like glucose in order for it to be dissolved/absorbed in our blood. This is because simple sugars has smaller molecular weights and are more soluble.

A recipe for a cake calls for both liquid and dry ingredients. If you are following the recipe, how will the order in which you

Nookie1986 [14]

It will have no effect because the order in which ingredients are mixed will not change the fact that matter cannot be created nor destroyed.

<h3>Effect occurs on mass</h3>

The order in which we add the ingredients do not affect the mass of the batter because the order in which ingredients are mixed will not change the fact that matter cannot be created nor destroyed.

The mass of the batter remains the same due to the incorporation of same quantity of ingredients so we can conclude that option A is the right answer for this question.

Answer:

Explanation:

The process that was going is <u>osmosis</u>.

<em>Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from regions of high water potential to regions of low water potentials through a selectively permeable membrane.</em>

In this case, the membrane is only permeable to water movement and not ions and water molecules move from the side with pure water (which happens to have higher water potential) to the side with 4% sodium chloride until equilibrium in water potential is established between the two sides.
