Amino acids, which serve as the "building blocks" of proteins, are disassembled. These tiny molecules can be absorbed through the stomach wall after being released.

<h3>Describe how the macronutrients in your diet are digested and then put back together to form the cell structure.</h3>

The principal macromolecules, from which all life is derived, are macrounits in our diet. The smaller subunits of these macromolecules must be broken down in order to be released. The circulatory system carries the digestively released components to the body's cells. These subunits serve as the building blocks for the macromolecules required for cellular structure and function, which are then put together by cells.

Proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates are examples of macromolecules.

The fact that all three macromolecules are hydrocarbons means that the majority of their atoms are made up of hydrogen and carbon.

Nitrogen atoms are found in proteins and in lipids.

Carbon atoms make up carbohydrates.

Simple carbohydrates are formed when complex carbohydrates are hydrated (by adding hydrogen and oxygen ions).

Dehydration of simple carbohydrates causes them to bind together in chains to create complex carbs. This can be reversed.

How might the management of nonrenewable resources be different fron the management of renewable resources?
Elden [556K]

Nonrenewable resources and found it fixed amount hence not managing properly will lead to full use of it and cannot be replaced

Explanation:

  • Nonrenewable resources are found in the ground and they are the natural resources created by nature
  • It includes fossil fuels, like natural gases, oil, coal, etc and also the minerals used for making metals
  • These natural resources have taken more than human's life span to form, up to million years. Hence, replacing of these natural resources are not possible
  • Renewable natural resources are trees, water, air. These resources can be recycled and they are also circulating in the atmosphere in the form of a cycle.
  • Hence, nonrenewable resources should be managed properly for it last for the coming generations.

In 2006, scientists found a fossil that seemed to have fish-like scales and four legs. It also had a bone structure in its neck
lianna [129]

Answer:

Option-C

Explanation:

Scientists found a fossil of a fish with four limbs or legs. The fossil was estimated to be around 375 million years old.  

The fossil showed the fins and scales of a fish but they also possess the bones of proto-wrist, shoulders and the elbow.

The presence of these bones can be a clue that the fish evolved the limbs to walk on the land and will later evolve into animals belonging to amphibians, reptiles and mammals. Therefore, the Tiktaalik is considered the missing link of how life evolved from water to land.

Thus, Option-C is correct.
