What will most likely happen if a person does not consume the minimum daily requirement of carbohydrates

1 answer:

5 0

If a person does not consume the minimal daily requirement of carbohydrates than the body will start to use the fat and proteins in the body so that it can produce energy. The carbohydrates are the primary energy source in the body, so the lack of them makes the body low on energy, and also it makes it harder to think and to remain active. If this process continues for a prolonged period of time, than it causes the building up of ketones in the blood, which results in ketosis.

4. If index of refraction 1 is 1.5, index of refraction 2 is 2.0, and the angle of incidence is 45 degrees, what is the angle of

motikmotik

Answer: The angle of refraction is 32°

Explanation:

By snell law, we have that:

n₁*sen(θ₁) = n₂*sen(θ₂)

Where n₁ = 1.5

n₂ = 2.0

θ₁ = 45°.

then we want to find the angle of refraction.

1.5*sin(45°) = 2*sin(x)

x = Asin(1.5*sin(45°)/2) = 32°

HELP ASAP!! Which atom is present in everything that is alive or ever was alive? Provide facts.

gregori [183]

Carbon is the atom, which is necessarily find in the living organism.

All the living organisms are made up of biomolecules. All the biomolecules are organic compounds. The substance cannot be consider as living, if it lacks nucleic acids. There are two types of nucleic acids DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid), both have a structure made up of carbon rings and chains.

Other than nucleic acids, proteins, enzymes, hormones etc are also made up of carbon. So, all the living cells, or dead remain of organism must have carbon atom.

Hence, the correct answer is option D. carbon.

Which of the following best explains ways in which fish and mammals differ? (2 points)

VLD [36.1K]

The answer is Fish are ectothermic and lay eggs to reproduce, while mammals are endothermic and give live birth to offspring.

Through the elimination process:
* Fish are invertebrates and have scales and paired fins, while mammals are vertebrates and have fur or hair. - Fish are vertebrates!
* Fish are endothermic and have gills, while mammals are ectothermic and have lungs. - Fish are ectothermic (cold-blooded), and mammals are endothermic (warm-blooded)!
* Fish have streamlined bodies and three-chambered hearts, while mammals are bipedal and have four-chambered hearts. - Fish have four chambered hearts and not all mammals are bipedal!

This leaves choice: Fish are ectothermic and lay eggs to reproduce, while mammals are endothermic and give live birth to offspring. All of this is true, but it should be taken into consideration that some fish give live birth and some mammals lay eggs, but this is the most possible choice among all mentioned.
