Answer:

b. adding butter. increasing the ripeness of fruit.

Explanation:

The addition of whole kernels helps to reduce the glycemic index (GI), because the larger the carbohydrate particle, the longer it takes the body to absorb it, decreasing the blood glucose peaks.

In addition, the addition of lean protein to meals helps to lower glucose spikes by reducing digestion time.

The addition of a fat like butter would not reduce the glycemic index due to its energy load (9 kcal per gram). In addition, increasing the ripeness of the fruit will also increase the GI.

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

Cerebrospinal fluids is a colorless fluid that is secreted in the choroid plexus,and circulates in the ventricles system and sub -aranchinoid space of the brain and spinal cord. its provides nutrients to the surrounding neurons, cushions the effects of trauma, pressure, acts as buffer and provides protection through immune system .

it plays a vital role in regulating blood flow, through a process called cerebral auto regulation,This is needed to maintain efficient cerebral blood flow of oxygen and other metabolites, and withdraw of metabolic wastes from the brain.

in order to analyze it to diagnose some neurological diseases its sample is usually taken out in a process called lumbar puncture.

Why does DNA need to be copied into mRNA?

larisa86 [58]

mRNA will serve as reference book that contains information as the DNA and its sequence is complementary to the DNA template.

The transfer of information in a DNA strand to a new molecule of messenger RNA is known as transcription. Thus, the process of transcription is carried out by an enzyme called RNA polymerase and a number of accessory proteins called transcription factors. However, DNA is copied into mRNA because mRNA will serve as reference book that contains information as the DNA and its sequence is complementary to the DNA template.

Which statement explains why earthquakes tend to be deeper near subduction zones?

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Option C, At a subduction zone, oceanic crust is forced deep into the Earth.

Explanation:

At sub-duction zone, the dense oceanic plates coincides with the less dense continental plates and thus sink below the continental plates. Sometimes these oceanic plates being dense, sink to greater depth with in the earth’s mantle. The sub-duction zone causes earth quakes of high intensity when oceanic crust penetrates to greater depths of earth crust as they tend to change the rheology of the earths’ mantle and also causes bending of plates

Hence, option C is correct
