Cooking Pasta can model a process in cells. Why does cooking dried pasta in boiling water make the pasta soft A. Heat energy makes the water boil
B. Heat energy makes the dry pasta melt
C. Heat energy causes a concentration gradient to form boiling water
D. Heat energy speeds up the diffusion of water down a concentration gradient

Explanation:

the answer should be d because of the concentration gradient see if that makes sense

hydroxyl -oh

alcohols, always polar, can form hydrogen bonds with h2o molecules

carboxyl -cooh  

cargoxylic acids, has acidic properties which is a source of hydrogen ions, found in cells in ionized for with a charge of oh-1

carbonyl > co

ketone if within skeleton, aldehyde if group is at the end of skeleton, k & a may be structural isomers, it determines 2 sugars (ketose & aldose)

amino -nh2

amines, acts as a base, it can pick up h+ ions from surrounding solution, ionized with charge of 1+

methyl ch2

addition to rna/dna affects and gene expression

phosphate -opo3 ²⁻

organic phosphates, contributes to negative charge to, molecule that it is a part of, and potential to react with h20

sulfhydryl -sh

thiols, cross-linking stabilize the protein, and it is structure
