a. Who wins the race? How do you know?

Juan wins the race

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is attached.

Time is on the horizontal axis.

Distance is on the vertical axis.

If you look first at y-axis (vertical), you will see that both lines (curves) go upto a distance of 4 miles. So, the race is of 4 miles. Both of them finish.

Now,

If you look at the corresponding x-axis value of where each curve ends, you will see:

Antonio finishes at 15 mins

Juan finishes at 13 minutes

So we can successfully say that Juan wins the race since he finishes 2 mins faster than Antonio.

Juan wins the race

plants store their excess carbohydrate in the form of starch so that it could be used as energy source later on. the excess carbohydrate is converted into starch in the plastid i.e. chloroplast & this process occurs in the presence of sunlight. it is an insoluble polymer of glucose which gets stored in cell organelles named as amyloplasts. in some plants, starch is also stored in roots and embryos.
