Food must be broken down into molecules before it can enter the bloodstream.

As good passes through the GI tract, it mixes with digestive juices, causing large molecules of food to break down into smaller molecules. The body then absorbs these smaller molecules through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream,, which delivers them to the rest of the body.

Synthesis of glucose from pyruvate during the Cori cycle occurs primarily in the__________.

Gemiola [76]

Gluconeogenesis is a ubiquitous process, present in plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and other microorganisms.[2] In vertebrates, gluconeogenesis takes place mainly in the liver and, to a lesser extent, in the cortex of the kidneys. In ruminants, this tends to be a continuous process.[3] In many other animals, the process occurs during periods of fasting, starvation, low-carbohydrate diets, or intense exercise. The process is highly endergonic until it is coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP or GTP, effectively making the process exergonic. For example, the pathway leading from pyruvate to glucose-6-phosphate requires 4 molecules of ATP and 2 molecules of GTP to proceed spontaneously. Gluconeogenesis is often associated with ketosis. Gluconeogenesis is also a target of therapy for type

Which goes where ? Mitosis Vs. Meiosis

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

Mitosis, Meiosis, and both are written below

Explanation:

Mitosis: produces more somatic (body) cells, purpose is for healing and growing, the daughter cells are exact replicas

This is because mitosis occurs in body cells and is used for growth, so all the daughter cells are the same.

Meiosis: results in sex cells (gametes), results in eggs and sperm, purpose is for creating new individuals (eventually), each daughter cell is different, has 2 separate division stages

This is because meiosis occurs in gametes and is used in reproduction.

Both: Chromosomes need to replicate before the whole process begins, a form of reproduction

This is because both are reproducing (they are dividing) and DNA must be replicated so each daughter cell has it.
