Hello there :). Here is why cells divide instead of growing larger:

The larger a cell becomes, the more demands the cell places on its DNA. In addition, the cell has more trouble moving enough nutrients and wastes across the cell membrane. In time, the cell's DNA would no longer be able to serve the increasing needs of the growing cell.

You are testing a new sugar replacement that you think is indigestible (and potentially useful in diet products). You feed 1 gra

enyata [817]

Answer: The % digestibility of the sugar alternative is 10.

Explanation:

First we have to know how many grams of the sugar replacement were in the total rat feces. We know 22,5% of the feces were the sugar replacement, so we use cross multiplication for that:

If 20 grams is 100% of the feces, then

x grams / 22.5% = 20grams / 100%

xgrams = (22.5 . 20grams) / 100% = 4.5grams

If each rat ingested 1gram of the sugar replacement, all five rats ate a total of 5grams.

Now we have to check how much of this sugar replacement was digested. If the rats ate 5grams and 4.5grams were present in their feces

5grams - 4.5grams = 0.5grams

This means they digested 0.5grams.

We use cross multiplication again to find out which percentage of the initial sugar replacement this represents.

If 5grams is 100% of the ingested sugar replacement, then

x% / 0.5grams = 100% / 5grams

x% = (0.5grams . 100%) / 5grams = 10%

The controlled use of fire was the first use of energy in a form other than select one:

LenKa [72]

<span>The answer is A. Food has been, since the emergence of life on earth, the first source of energy for organisms. This energy was harnessed through respiration to enable growth and development, movement and also provide heat. Ancient humans then discovered fire and also harnessed its energy to cook food (making food easily digestible) and also warming themselves during winter. </span>
