Answer:

C) Increases in daily fiber intake should be gradual.

Explanation:

Fiber is the indigestible part of plants and carbohydrates. Beans, peas and lentils are some sources of fiber.

Fiber is best obtained through dried peas and beans and not from pills and the optimal amount of fiber varies with gender, age and pregnancy so there is no fixed diet for fiber and 25 g  fiber a day is recommended for adult women and 38 g for adult men.

Increases in daily fiber intake should be gradual because a high fiber diet helps to prevent diseases like heart diseases, diabetes, constipation, and colon cancer. It also smoothens the digestive system and lowers the cholrestrol.

Hence, the correct answer is "C) Increases in daily fiber intake should be gradual."

Consider the models of cell reproduction. Evaluate the statements and select ALL that are NOT supported by the models.
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer and Explanation:

The cell division cycle is responsible for increasing and maintaining cell number and size. This cycle is an essential feature of living organisms. There are four phases of cell division mitotic phase (M phase), growth phase 1 (G1), growth phase 2 (G2), and synthesis phase (S). One phase of the cell cycle ends, and the other starts; this is named a phase transition—a unidirectional alteration in the cell cycle phases. During G1, G2, and S phase cell grows and during the M phase cell divides. There are two models of cell reproduction as the clock model and the domino model. The domino model implies that cell division phases must occur in a distinct order and at a definite time. The domino model recommends that the cell cycle events are independent, while the clock model shows that the effectiveness of mitosis entrance was not persuaded by other actions.

Describe the processes that turn metamorphic rock into igneous rock and the energy that powers the processes.
TiliK225 [7]

So, we know that a metamorphic rock is either an igneous or a sedimentary rock that are exposed to intense heat and pressure.

But when the metamorphic rock is thrusted deep underground through subduction, it will again be subjected to intense heat. This can cause it to melt, turning it into a magma. When the magma cools down, it again becomes an igneous rock and the rock cycle continues.

konstantin123 [22]

Presence of a teratogen in the body of mother during pregnancy is responsible for mal growth of child or incomplete growth which may lead to abortion, still birth or even a defective child.

A teratogen is a substance that is known to cause <em>defects</em> in growth of child during the intrauterine growth period. Thalidomide was used as a morning sickness drug which relieved the vomiting nature of the would be mother. But the presence of thalidomide was responsible for less growth of limbs of the child. Alcohol in intrauterine life may cause Fetal Alcoholic Syndrome which damages the fetus' sense organs and neural cord.

The presence of a teratogen during the 1st trimester is more serious than in last trimester because the main formation of different organs and systems take place in the 1st trimester and maturity takes place in third trimester.
