During photosynthesis, light energy, combined with water and CO2 gas, make a sugar called glucose.
Glucose has to go through another process called cellular respiration in order for the glucose to be changed into usable energy that would be useful for the plant.
Pray this helps you. :)
Answer:
The correct answer is cholesterol is nonpolar.
Explanation:
Cholesterol is a complex lipid is synthesized from acetyl CoA.cholesterol is an important constituent of plasma membrane.
Cholesterol is non polar in nature.As a result cholesterol is repelled by water and can be found between the layers of the phospholipid in the plasma membrane.
As cholesterol is non polar it is also hydrophobic in nature.
<h2>The given statement is true</h2>
Explanation:
Iron absorption occurs in the duodenum and upper jejunum of small intestine
- At physiological pH ferrous iron is rapidly oxidized to the insoluble ferric form
- Gastric acid lowers the pH in the duodenum which enhances the solubility and uptake of ferric iron
- Once iron gets inside the enterocyte it can be stored as ferritin;Ferritin is a hollow spherical protein which helps in storage and regulation of iron levels within the body
- Ferritin molecule have ferroxidase activity which helps in the mobility of Fe2+ out of the enterocyte by ferroportin
- Transferrin is the major iron transport protein which transports iron through blood
- Fe3+ binds to transferrin so Fe2+ transported through ferroportin must be oxidized to Fe3+
- Fe2+ needs to be oxidized first so that it can be transported through ferroportin
- Once iron gets inside the cell it can be used for various cellular processes
