Elza [17]1 year ago

Short-term regulation of feeding involves signals coming from the liver and GI tract. Stretch receptors send afferent signals through the vagal nerve fibers to the chemoreceptors in the stomach and proximal small intestine,

Short-term regulation food intake is primarily regulated by food signals resulting from both their preabsorptive action in the gut and their postabsorptive metabolism, as opposed to long-term food intake, which is regulated by adiposity signals. The first process, commonly referred to as short-term regulation, tries to consume enough energy to counteract what is being used up. It is typically believed that this short-term mechanism controls both the interval between meals and the amount of the meals.

An enzyme that can bind to and break apart molecules of lactose should also be able to bind: a. fatty acids. b. amino acids. c.
Airida [17]

Answer: Option E) None of the above is true; this enzyme could bind none of these.

Explanation:

Lactose is a dissacharide composed of glucose and galactose. Hence, the enzyme lactase break down lactose into its simple sugar constituents.

However, lactase cannot bind nor break down amino acids, starch (with only glucose units) or sucrose (with two glucose units) because their constituent molecules differ markedly from that of lactose.

Thus, the enzyme lactase could bind with none of the options provided except lactose
