Alex3 years ago
5 0

Answer & explanation:

Manioc is a vegetable originating in the American continent, belonging to the <em><u>Euphorbia</u></em> family.

it has been cultivated by various indigenous nations in Latin America, where in many places it is the fundamental basis of the diet.

Manioc is considered a poisonous root due to the presence of cyanhydric acid in its structure. The amount of this acid varies according to the manioc species and also the roots, leaves and stems.

In Brazil, for example, manioc roots are used to produce flour, such as tapioca, and recipes with tucupi, a type of sauce obtained from the "juice" of the cassava press.

The relationship between catabolism and anabolism is most similar to the relationship between which of the following pairs of te
MrMuchimi

Answer:

The pair of terms whose relationship is very similar to the relationship between catabolism and anabolism are exergonic and endergonic.

Explanation:

Anabolism and catabolism are processes that occur in matabolism, whose result is different.

  • <u><em>Anabolism </em></u><em>involves all the processes of manufacture or synthesis, in which chemicals are bound together to form new compounds. This process consumes energy, so it is called </em><em>endergonic</em><em>. </em>
  • <u><em>Catabolism</em></u><em>, unlike anabolism, is the process of degradation of complex molecules into simple molecules. One of the results of catabolism is the release of energy, which is equivalent to saying that it is an </em><em>exergonic</em><em> process. </em>

Relating catabolism to anabolism is similar to relating exergonics to endergonics.

  <em>  The other terms do not represent a similarity with the relationship between the processes of catabolism and anabolism.</em>

Explanation: Mosses are non-vascular plants (they don't have conductive vessels as xylem and phloem) that live places as tree trunks, rocks, walls and soils. This habitats must be humids because mosses need water for nutrient transport,  because they don't have cuticle (prevents water lost) and for fertilization. Mosses are important for the ecosistems where they live because retain water in the soils thus prevent erosion and  harbor invertebrates as Tardigrades (water bears).

lord [1]
PDCAAS takes into account both the amino acid profile and the DIGESTIBILITY of a protein. PDCAAS is majorly used to indicate the quality of a protein. Protein digestibility refers to the ability of a protein to be broken down so that it can be absorbed. Protein digestibility depends mainly on the source of the protein.<span />
