are
complex carbohydrates, while glucose, fructose, and sucrose are simple carbohydrates. Simple
carbohydrates can be monosaccharides, like glucose and
or disaccharides, like lactose and
Complex carbohydrates include polysaccharides. Starch consists of chains of glucose
molecules. Some starch chains are
and harder to digest. Other starch is much easier to
digest and has
chains Dietary
consists of soluble and insoluble types,
which both possess important benefits like reducing the risk of constipation, heart disease, and obesity
Soluble fiber also helps reduce the risk of diabetes. Glycogen is a highly branched polysaccharide created
by a process called
and is stored in the liver and muscles for later use. Carbohydrates in the
diet are said to spare
from being used to provide for fuel for cells.

Our planet has experienced five major extinctions in the four billion year history of life. the first, 450 million years ago, occurred shortly after the evolution of the first land-based plants and 100 million years after the cambrian explosion. the second extinction occurred 350 million years ago, causing the formation of coal forests. next earth experienced two mass extinctions during the triassic period, between 250 and 200 million years ago. the fifth mass extinction occurred 65 million years ago, ending the reptilian dominance of the earth. according to richard leakey, the sixth mass extinction is happening right now. leakey suggests that we, the human race, are the cause. each year, at our hand, approximately 50,000 species vanish from earth. he believes that man is destroying earth at a rate comparable with the impact of a giant asteroid. leakey's statistics indicate that 50% of earth's species will become extinct within the next 100 years assuming leakey's hypothesis of a sixth mass extinction to be true, how will we expect the model to change? a) a sharp spike in the graph approximately 100 million years from now b) a dip in the graph, followed by a sharp spike about 100 million years from now c) a sharp spike in the graph immediately following the "0" location of the x axis d) a plateau following the "0" mark on the x axis, followed by a gradual rise to a new peak
