What does the U.S. Department of Agriculture illustration suggest about a balanced diet?

Explanation

The higher a food group appears in the pyramid, the lower its proportion in a balance diet. The chart shows fats, oils, and sweets at the top of the pyramid and indicates that they should be used “sparingly.”

Osmosis is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane in order to equalize the concentration (the amount of protein per milliliter of water) on two sides of the membrane. Consider the diagram below. The container is divided into two compartments, A and B, by a selectively permeable membrane. Each circle represents 100 protein molecules that can’t pass through the membrane. The amount of water on two sides of the membrane is initially equal.What will happen as a result of osmosis?
The wave crest shown as point X will reach line A in 3 seconds. In how many seconds will the same wave crest reach line B?
What process is the sequence of three illustrations showing?
Each neutron and proton in an atom’s nucleus has the same atomic mass: one dalton. If an atom loses neutrons due to radioactive decay, it may also lose protons, in which case, the atom becomes an atom of a different element. Uranium 238, a very unstable element, goes through many stages of radioactive decay. During this process, it becomes thorium, radium, and radon (among other elements), before finally becoming lead 206, a stable isotope of lead.
What can you infer from the information?
The amount of bone in the elderly skeleton—a key determinant in its susceptibility to fractures—is believed to be a function of two major factors. The first is the peak amount of bone mass attained, which is determined by a variety of variables. One of the variables is genetic inheritance. Another is gender, as elderly men experience only half as many hip fractures as elderly women. Race may be another variable: African American women have a lower incidence of osteoporosis fractures than Caucasian women. Still other variables include diet, exposure to sunlight, and physical activity.
The second major factor is the rate of bone loss after peak bone mass has been attained. While many of the variables that affect peak bone mass also affect rates of bone loss, additional factors influencing bone loss include physiological stresses such as pregnancy and lactation. Hormonal status, reflected primarily by estrogen and progesterone levels, exerts the greatest effect on rates of decline in skeletal mass.

Among the following, who is likely to achieve the lowest peak bone mass?

Mass times velocity
