Biology
1 answer:
Step2247 [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Only about five percent of starches are broken down in the mouth. (This is a good thing as more glucose in the mouth would lead to more tooth decay.) When carbohydrates reach the stomach no further chemical breakdown occurs because the amylase enzyme does not function in the acidic conditions of the stomach.

Which group in an ecosystem performs photosynthesis?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

its A

Explanation:

An autotroph or primary producer is an organism that produces complex organic compounds (such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) using carbon from simple substances such as carbon dioxide, generally using energy from light (photosynthesis) or inorganic chemical reactions (chemosynthesis). Autotrophs do not need a living source of carbon or energy and are the producers in a food chain, such as plants on land or algae in water (in contrast to heterotrophs as consumers of autotrophs or other heterotrophs). Autotrophs can reduce carbon dioxide to make organic compounds for biosynthesis and as stored chemical fuel. Most autotrophs use water as the reducing agent, but some can use other hydrogen compounds such as hydrogen sulfide. hope this helps :D

These stages are infancy (0 to 23 months), early childhood (2 to 4 years), preschool years (4 to 5 years), school age (5 to 12 years), adolescence (13 to 19 years), early adulthood (20 to 39 years), adulthood (40 to 64 years) and maturity (65 to death). In each stage, specific values, psychosocial crisis, significant relationship and existential question are being specified by Erikson.

irina [24]
I believe it is inappropriate to require pre-marriage genetic testing. Just because people are getting married doesn’t mean they’re going to have children. They honestly shouldn’t require genetic testing at all unless the state is paying for it.
