The correct answer is "fiber".

Fiber is actually indigestible food products such as cellulose that aids in the digestion and bowel function. Fiber, first of all, limits the absorption of extra fats therefore preventing hypertriglyceridemia and eventually cerebrovascular and cardiovascular consequences. Fiber also limits glucose absorption controlling type II diabetes. Lastly, fiber also acts as protection in the colon by increasing the transit times of potentially carcinogenic substances found in food, therefore preventing colon cancer.

During photosynthesis, the energy used to pump protons comes from ___________, whereas in cellular respiration it comes from ___
Annette [7]

During photosynthesis, the energy used to pump protons comes from ______light_____, whereas in cellular respiration it comes from ______NADH/FADH₂_______.

<h3>What are the steps in photosynthesis?</h3>
  1. The first step in photosynthesis is the absorption of light by chlorophyll bound to chloroplast thylakoid proteins. The absorbed light energy is used to remove electrons from electron donors such as water to form oxygen.
  2. The electrons are then transferred to the primary electron acceptor, quinine (Q.). Electrons are further transferred from the primary electron acceptor to the final electron acceptor (usually NADP⁺).
  3. Proton transfer from the thylakoid lumen to the stroma via the F₀F₁ complex generates ATP from ADP and Pi.
  4. The NADP and ATP produced in steps 2 and 3 provide the energy, and the electrons power the process of reducing the carbon to a six-carbon sugar molecule.

The first three steps of photosynthesis, are directly dependent on light energy and are thus, called light reactions, while the reactions in the last step are independent of light and thus are termed dark reactions.

What is the evolution of a dog
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Dogs were probably domesticated by accident, when wolves began trailing ancient hunter-gatherers to snack on their garbage. Docile wolves may have been slipped extra food scraps, the theory goes, so they survived better, and passed on their genes. Eventually, these friendly wolves evolved into dogs
