Answer:

Explanation: Complex carbs are polysaccharides (which is a carb whose molecules consist of a high number of sugars). Starch is a great carb for plants because the type of carb starch is will allow the plant to store energy to give it strength and to support it's life. Thus starch will create chemical energy for the plant. So for example if there was all of the sudden darkness around the plant due to clouds, storms or overcast- the plant wouldn't be getting the sun it needs to grow. So it could break down the starch and use it.

What problems do desert plants and rainforest plants have in regards to water and how have they adapted to deal with these probl
Juli2301 [7.4K]

The desert plants ans the rainforest plants both have problems with water, just that they are total opposite ones. The desert plants have problems because they do not have enough water. In order to cope with that, these plants have developed methods through which they are able to retain water and not a single drop to evaporate from them. They also are able to take in water from the air, and have enormous root systems. The plants in the rainforests have problems with too much water, so they have adapted very wide leaves so that the water doesn't go toward their roots. The roots also are able to restrict the intake of water, while the plants themselves have extremely high tolerance to water. They also have developed larger pores on their leaves in order for the water to evaporate more easily from them.

Juan has been diagnosed with mono, and the doctor wants to determine if his spleen is enlarged. Where (quadrant, etc.) will the
hichkok12 [17]

Answer and Explanation:

  • Where (quadrant, etc.) will the doctor palpate Juan's abdomen?

<em>Under normal conditions in general the spleen can not be palped because of its reduced size. But when it is enlarged it might be easily touched. The spleen is located under the thoracic cage (rib cage) on the left side, between the 8th and 11th ribs. This would correspond to the left superior quadrant (left hemi-belly).</em>

  • What other organs might be compressed by Juan's enlarged spleen?

<em>The enlargement of the spleen and the liver inflammation are symptoms of the mono disease. This enlargement might affect some neighboring organs such as the stomach, which might be displaced and compressed. </em>

  • why is Juan's spleen enlarged and not his stomach or kidney?

<em>The spleen is part of the immunological system and helps the body to fight infections and filter old bloody cells taking them out of the blood current. This organ might get enlarged because blood cells accumulate in its interior. Red blood cells are excessively stored in the spleen, resulting in anemia. The more cells the spleen retains, the larger it becomes, and hence, the more blood cells it retains and destroys. If the spleen is unproperly working, it kills too many red blood cells and accumulates many others.</em>

The Stomach and kidney are not part of the immunity system and they do not filter blood cells, so they do not seem to be affected by their accumulation.

Without digestive enzymes, you would likely die from starvation waiting for your food to break down into small molecules. Why do
Serjik [45]

Answer: Enzymes lower the activation energy found in food molecules

Explanation:

Food substances like yam, potatoes, egg etc are all made of chemical elements bounded to one another by chemical bonds such as hydrogen bonds, covalent bonds etc

During digestion, these bonds must be broken for carbohydrates to yield glucose, protein to yield amino acids.

Hence, added enzymes lowers the strength of this bonds i.e activation energy, by placing them into their active sites, which is equipped to cleave specific bonds

Thus, digestive reactions are quicker in the presence of enzymes than otherwise.
