What is the science of mapmaking called?

Correct Answer: the extent to which a given food raises blood glucose and insulin levels

Explanation:

The glycemic index or glycaemic index is a number associated with the carbohydrates in a particular type of food that indicates the effect of these carbohydrates on a person's blood glucose (also called blood sugar) level. A value of 100 represents the standard, an equivalent amount of pure glucose.

 

The GI represents the rise in a person's blood sugar level two hours after consumption of the food.

Correct Answer: After you eat, insulin stimulates the lowering of blood sugar levels.

Explanation:

Eating raises blood sugar levels, insulin stimulates the lowering of blood sugar level. In this example the response to the stimulus (increased blood sugar levels) opposes that stimulus (by lowering blood sugar levels).

Correct Answer: cellulose

Explanation:

Plant cell walls are mostly made up of the molecule cellulose. Cellulose is a polysaccharide, a complex sugar made of long chains of glucose.

 

The cell wall must be made of thick and strong material as it provides the structural shape of the plant and protection from insects and microorganisms.

Correct Answer: < 5 deg Celcius

Explanation:

To reduce the risk of bacterial contamination, many foods must be stored in the refrigerator and thus kept below 5 degrees Celsius. These foods are often classified as ?high-risk foods? and include ? meat, poultry, dairy, seafood, eggs, smallgoods and cooked rice and pasta. This also refers to ready-to-eat foods that have high-risk foods as ingredients and include ? casseroles, quiche, pasta salad, pizza, sandwiches and many cakes.

 

By keeping these high-risk foods under 5 degrees Celsius it stops them from entering the ?danger-zone? ? temperatures between 5 degrees Celsius and 60 degrees Celsius. The danger-zone is the temperature zone which provides bacteria with the perfect environment to rapidly grow and multiply to numbers that cause food poisoning.

 

Correct Answer: Plants are photosynthetic autotrophs, which means that they are able to produce their own food through the process called photosynthesis In photosynthesis, plants use light, water, and carbon dioxide to create glucose, which they convert to cellulose and use to make new cells Hence, that is why, Plants are called photosynthetic autotrophs

Correct Answer: Photosynthesis

Explanation:

Photosynthesis process removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Green plants remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by photosynthesis. 

The level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is maintained by several processes, including photosynthesis, respiration and combustion. 

Correct Answer: nutrients and other life-sustaining molecules are in limited supply and must be continually recycled

Explanation:

Biogeochemical cycles are crucial to ecosystem function because ::

 

1. Chemical elements are available in only limited amounts and must be recycled.

2. Nutrients and other life-sustaining molecules are in limited supply and must be continually recycled.

Correct Answer: serving as the interface between the other spheres

Explanation:

The geosphere is the earth's solid rock or rigid outer layer known as the crust. Without the geosphere it would not be possible for humans to live on the planet. The function of the geosphere serving as the interface between the other spheres.

Correct Answer: taking in carbon dioxide and making carbohydrates (sugars)

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms activities.

Correct Answer: There is extensive intramolecular hydrogen bonding in the condensed phase.

Explanation:

Water possess intermolecular hydrogen bonding in the condensed phase.

 

Hence, the given statement 'There is extensive intramolecular hydrogen bonding in the condensed phase.' about water is FALSE.
