The sugary, sweet taste of freshly picked com is due to the high sugar content in the kernels of the corn. Enzyme action in the

corn kernels however converts about half of the sugar to starch within one day after picking. To preserve its sweetness, the freshly picked corn is placed into boiling water for a several minutes, and then cooled.
Which of the following statements most likely explains why the boiled com kernels remain sweet instead of becoming starchy?

The boiled kernels remain sweet instead of starchy because the applied heat greatly stops the enzymatic action of the corn kernels. The heat tends to stop the conversion of sugar to starch because when kernels are starchy than sugar, it will spoil easily. High sugar content preserves the corn kernels.

Answer: Blood plays a very important role before cellular respiration. The blood provides oxygenated blood for the aerobic processes that takes place during cellular respiration. Glycolysis, link reaction, Kreb's Cycle and Electron Transport Chain are all the aerobic process of Cellular respiration that requires oxygen. Without blood aerobic cellular respiration cannot occur as the source of oxygen is blood. The blood provides oxygen before cellular respiration. After cellular respiration the waste materials are carried away by blood only.

Hence, blood plays an important role before cellular respiration.

based on the living things in the pyramid, tell me what examples would fit into these categories: primary producers, primary con
algol [13]

Answer:

- Oak trees: primary producers

- Caterpillars: primary consumers

- Blue Jays: secondary consumers

- Hawks: tertiary consumers

Explanation:

A trophic pyramid, also known as ecological pyramid or energy pyramid, is a graphic representation that shows the relationships between different types of organisms (i.e., producers and consumers) at the trophic levels of an ecosystem. The primary producers are autotrophic organisms that obtain energy from sunlight and chemical compounds from nonliving sources (e.g., photosynthetic plants, algae, etc). The primary consumers are organisms that eat primary producers (e.g., herbivores), while secondary consumers are organisms that eat primary consumers (e.g., omnivores). Moreover, tertiary consumers are predators and/or omnivores that eat secondary consumers (e.g., hawks). Finally, decomposers (e.g., bacteria) are organisms that obtain nutrients and energy by breaking down dead organic material (i.e., dead organisms) at all trophic levels into nutrients.

3.Commercial development in the U.S. has resulted in an increase in the number of roads, housing developments, shopping centers,
Art [367]

The correct answer is option A, that is, development often causes habitat fragmentation, which can threaten biodiversity.

Fragmentation is usually illustrated as a reduction in some of all the kinds of natural habitats in a landscape, and the differentiation of a landscape into smaller and more isolated segments. With the development of the fragmentation process, the ecological influences will modify.  

Fragmentation can be a result of natural procedures like floods, fires, and volcanic activity, but it is more generally caused due to human activities like an increase in the number of roads, housing developments, shopping centers, and parking lots.  

With the enhancement in human activities, the effect of fragmentation become more. Eventually, it results in the devastating influences on the local species, a complete modification to the landscape, and the loss of the region's wilderness heritage.
