Answer:
A desirable intake of dietary fiber is 20-35 grams daily, according to the American Dietetic Association.
Explanation:
Dietary fiber has always been a part of a healthy, balanced eating lifestyle. Fiber has 2 types, soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber is a <u>gelatin-like</u> substance when combined with water and when ingested, <u>can help slow the travel of food in the gut, making you feel</u> <em>"full."</em> Insoluble fiber or roughage is the <u>bulk-forming type</u>. It <u>holds water</u> in its structure, helping <u>regulate the bowel movements.</u>
Fiber, being a <u>complex carbohydrate</u>, can help <u>lessen the risk of an increase of bad cholesterol and blood sugar</u>. Examples of fiber-rich foods are whole grain products, barley, oats, grapes, etc.
Answer:
A nerve impulse from one neuron affects the activity of a neighboring neuron at a point of interaction called the: SYNAPSE
Explanation:
A NEURON(or nerve cell) has 3 parts:
1. The dendrites(multiple)
2. The axon
3. The cell body
A SYNAPSE is an area where the dendrites of one neuron communicates with the axon of another neuron.
At the synapse, nerve impulses are transmitted from one neuron to the other. This is possible through substances called NEUROTRANSMITTERS. There is no direct contact between the axon of one neuron and dendrites of another neuron.
Autotrophs make their own food while heterotrophs do not; because of this, autotrophs may survive in certain situations in which heterotrophs would not.
Hope this helps.
