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.

iragen [17]

This statement is correct because the concept of integrating body and mind in physical activity was responsible for the expansion of physical activity, in addition to activities that promote only the well-being of the body aesthetically, but as a set of activities responsible for improvement of health, intelligence, emotional, creativity, as well as an instrument of social integration. The practice of physical activity releases endorphins in the brain, which is a natural substance produced by the brain that is associated with well-being, mood and joy, and this effect occurs during and after physical activity.

Vsevolod [243]
The correct answers are B & C. Silicon-32 is the parent isotope, which decays into phosphorus-32 (daughter isotope). The silicon-32 amount is halved every 170 years, so we can use this to determine how old the rock is. The amount of phosphorus-32 increases over time, but it is not equal to the amount of silicon-32.
