<span>The
absorption of iron is reduced when you have a diet high in fiber and
phytates. Even though an excess of fiber can have an effect in the
body’s ability to absorb some minerals, fiber is very safe and even
necessary in reasonable amounts. phytatic acids on the other hand are
responsible of binding metallic cations reducing the capacity of the
body of absorbing iron, calcium and zinc and should be consumed with
moderation.</span>
Your answer would be :
B) Stabilizing Selection
Answer:
The correct answer is: a) osmosis.
Explanation:
- Osmosis can be defined as the physiological process by which molecules (in this case water) tend to move from a region where their concentration is high to a region where their concentration is low by the process of diffusion across a semi-permeable membrane.
- Active Transport can be defined as the physiological process in which molecules are forced to move from a region where their concentration is low to a region where their concentration is high across a semi-permeable membrane. This process requires the expenditure of energy and is usually mediated by carrier proteins or integral membrane proteins which span across the plasma membrane.
- Filtration can be defined as the physical process by which insoluble solute molecules are separated from the solvent molecules by the help of a porous filter paper which allows the solvent molecules to pass through it but restricts the insoluble solute molecules from passing through it.
- Diffusion can be defined as the physical process by which molecules tend to move from a region where its concentration is high to a region where its concentration is low. However, unlike osmosis, there is no semi-permeable membrane which separates the two regions.
On the average, about 25% of a teenager's total daily energy intake comes from snacks, this number is quite high, since the intake of other foods, such as proteins, vitamins and micronutrients are affected, unbalancing growth and developing diseases in young people.
