Answer:

Option-C

Explanation:

The sugar alcohols are the carbohydrates which are neither considered sugars nor alcohols but they partially resemble the structure of both of these sugars and alcohol.

The sugar alcohols are naturally present in the vegetables and fruits but they are also artificially synthesised like xylitol, lactitol, mannitol and others.

They are considered the alternative from of sugar but they provide less energy as compared to carbohydrates like they provide about 0-3 kcal per gram whereas sugar provides 4 kcal per gram.

This difference is due to the reason that they are not completely absorbed by the human body and also they are incompletely metabolized therefore provide less energy.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

Biogeochemical cycles recycle water and natural elements throughout the biosphere to ensure that organisms do not run out of the
Yakvenalex [24]
The process that is vital in the recycling of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus is decomposition.
During decomposition, organic matter from dead organisms is broken down. This break down yields simpler and smaller substances from the more complex ones that were present in the organism.
Carbon is released from the carbohydrates and fats that were present in the organism. Nitrogen is released from the proteins that were present and phosphorus is released from the nucleic acids.

The all-or-none phenomenon as applied to nerve conduction states that the whole nerve cell must be stimulated for conduction to
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:True

Explanation:

Nerve impulse must reach a certain threshold in a neuron before action potential can be generated to intiate conduction of action potential.

Therefore if mutiple impulses are generated and these are not upto thresholds , no matter how strong the stimulI are-NO ACTION POTENTIAL WILL BE GENERATED.

THIS IS ALL OR NONE PRINCIPLE

The all or none hypotheses can be best explain with flushing of the water closet after using it. If required volume of water is not pumped into the water closet storage above, no matter how long the handle is push, FLUSHING WILL NOT TAKE PLACE.Thus the threshold volume of water must be met.

Which of the following is a true statement about sexual vs. asexual reproduction? A. Asexual reproduction, but not sexual reprod
Afina-wow [57]

The correct answer is: B. In sexual reproduction, individuals transmit half of their nuclear genes to each of their offspring.

The main difference between sexual and asexual reproduction is that in sexual reproduction genetic material from two parents is combined, while in asexual reproduction produced offspring is genetically identical to the one parent. So, advantage of sexual reproduction is that produced unique organisms contribute to genetic diversity (variation is formed). But, comparing to asexual reproduction, sexual reproduction requires more energy and lasts longer.

Asexual reproduction is found in lower organisms and can be in different forms: budding, vegetative reproduction, fragmentation, spore formation.
