Answer:

45 %

Explanation:

Given:

Ice cream has 12 grams of fat per serving

Energy from per serving ice cream is 240 kilo calorie.

We have to find percentage of the total calories from fat ?

Solution:

Caloric value of 1 gram fat = 9 kilo calorie        (As we know)

Caloric value of 12 gram fat = 9\times12 = 108 kilo calorie.

It is given that energy from per serving ice cream is 240 kilo calorie,

therefore the percentage of the total calories from fat is, \frac{108}{240} \times100 = \frac{10800}{240} = 45\%

Which of the following best describes an effective adaptation of plants commonly found in the rain forest?
Montano1993 [528]
Plants in the rain forest have unique adaptations to help them to thrive in the climatic conditions present there. Temperatures in the rain forest are high all year round. Since tropical rain forests are located around the equator they receive direct sunlight. The leaves of the plants here are waxy to protect them from the direct sunlight. 
Rain fall is high here and it can get up to 4000 mm per year. Leaves are equipped with drip tips to allow for the easy run off of water after a down pour.
The barks of most trees are also smooth to further facilitate the movement of water to the ground. The trees in the forest grow fast and compete with each other for sunlight. The trees grow very tall and very fast so they have specialized roots called buttress roots that can support them. These roots spread out to support tall trees. 
The dense vegetation of the forest prevents much plants from growing under the canopy of the trees. A small number of plant however can survive in this low light environment. The plant that grow under the canopy have large, dark green leaves to make use of the little light that passes through.

rodikova [14]

Answer:

The correct answer would be

  • Concave lens for nearsightedness
  • Convex lens for farsightedness

Nearsightedness or myopia is a condition in which a person can see the nearby objects clearly but is unable to see the objects present at a farther distance clearly.

It is usually caused due to elongation of the eyeball or when the lens becomes too curved.

It can be corrected by using a concave or diverging lens of appropriate power.

Farsightedness or hyperopia is a condition in which a person can see the distant objects clearly but is unable to see the nearby objects distance clearly.

It is usually caused due to shortening of the eyeball or when the lens loses its curvature.

It can be corrected by using a convex or converging lens of appropriate power.

Why is gene expression important to the overall health of an organism?
VashaNatasha [74]
That is because gene expression is a process in the synthesis of proteins and without proteins our organisms could not function properly. Almost all things that occur in our body are results of proteins being synthesized and these proteins travel through our body activating other processes. When not synthesizing proteins, different types of RNA are synthesized.
