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.

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

348.75 individuals, however you may need to round

Explanation:

To solve this problem, you need to think of the proportions you are given. Since she marked 45 fish in the beginning, and assuming none died, you can assume that there are 45 marked fish in the whole population. Therefore, when she takes the sample of 62 and sees that there are 8 marked fish, a good strategy is to take that proportion and use it to solve for the population like so:

8(marked fish in sample)/62(total in sample) = 45(total marked fish)/x(total population. Next cross-multiply 45 * 62 and 8 * x and set them equal to each other, getting you to the equation 2790 = 8x. Finally, to find x, the population size, divide 2790 by 8 to get x= 348.75.

Which of the following best describes how the structure of ice benefits the organisms that live in the water below?
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The water molecules in ice are considerably far apart as compared to cold water of 4 degrees centigrade and below. This, therefore, makes ice less dense than water at these temperatures (because they are fewer water molecules in ice per unit volume). This is why ice floats on cold water below 4 degrees centigrade. Ice, being a bad conductor of heat, shields the water below an ice sheet from excessive heat loss to the atmosphere. This is why water remains liquid below an ice sheet protecting the marine life below from complete freezing.

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

In the presence of arsenate glycolysis produces fewer ATP and NADH molecules per glucose molecule.

Explanation:

it is supposed to be 2 molecules of 3-phosphoglecerate with each producing 2 ATP making a total of 4 ATP gain but since it is just one and arsenate, only 2 ATP will be generated instead of four, thus ATP yield is reduced.

On your first attempt to run a PCR, you realize you forgot to add one of the two primers. The graduate student you work with sug
dem82 [27]

Explanation:

During  PCR, we use two primers one is forward primer and the other one is reverse primer they match the  sequence of one one of the two complementary strands of the target DNA, they flank the target region (that the region which we has to be copied). if we add only one primer it copies only one strand of the DNA in multiple copies. Usually we call this as Asymmetric PCR.

Generally Primers are synthetic short stretch of oligonucleotides that are complementary to the target DNA. They act as a foundation for the amplification process of  DNA to form multiple copies
