What did you include in your response?
- For a cell to survive, ion concentrations inside and outside the cell need to be the same.
- If extra ions are not pumped out of the cell, water can enter the cell, causing it to swell and burst.
(4) organic catalysts
The job of catalysts in chemical reactions is to make the reaction go faster by lowering the amount of energy needed to activate the reaction. If less energy is needed for the reaction to occur, then the reaction can go faster because a large energy build-up is not needed.
Answer: Carbohydrates, or carbs, are sugar molecules. Along with proteins and fats, carbohydrates are one of three main nutrients found in foods and drinks. Your body breaks down carbohydrates into glucose. Glucose, or blood sugar, is the main source of energy for your body's cells, tissues, and organs.
Answer:
Complex Carbohydrates: Also know as polysaccharides (poly = many), these carbohydrates have more than two units of glucose (sugar) linked together. Polysaccharides are generally not sweet and are not water soluble. Starches and dietary fiber are complex carbohydrates.
Complex carbs pack in more nutrients than simple carbs. They're higher in fiber and digest more slowly. This also makes them more filling, which means they're a good option for weight control. They're also ideal for people with type 2 diabetes because they help manage blood sugar spikes after meals.
Simple carbs — also known as simple sugars — contain one or two sugar molecules, whereas complex carbs have three or more. A simple sugar may be a mono- or disaccharide.
