Answer:

<em>The correct option is C) C-shaped cartilage rings </em>

Explanation:

The trachea is commonly known as the wind-pipe. The trachea can be described as about a 4 inch long passage from which the air travels into the bronchi and lungs. The pathway of the trachea is kept open by C- shaped cartilages which are lined all over in the trachea. The C-shaped cartilages protects as well as maintain the shape of the wind-pipe. The rigidity of the trachea arises from the C-shaped cartilages.

Why is the caloric value of some sugar alcohols less than 4 kcal/g? a. They cannot be transported into the mitochondria. b. None
avanturin [10]

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.

Fuel cells are a particular type of electrochemical cell that require a constant source of chemical fuels, or reactants, during
bazaltina [42]
A fuel cell works like a battery. It consists of two electrodes where the reactions would occur and an electrolyte solution which allows for caharged particles to flow. In a fuel cell that uses hydrogen and oxygen as reactants. The hydrogen would enter the cell at the anode where oxidation would happen. So that the species that is formed in the anode side would be hydronium ions and electrons. The oxygen, on the other hand, would enter the cathode electrode where reduction occurs. The species that are produced in this side of the cell are water molecules. Together, the net reaction is called a redox reaction.

OverLord2011 [107]
The statement is true. There are two main anabolic stimuli for muscle that is exercise and protein ingestion. Protein not only provides the building blocks for the muscle, but also provides the trigger to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. Muscle protein synthesis is the physiological process of adding new amino acids to muscle  proteins and is the primary mechanism of muscle growth.
