Answer: The correct answer is option E.

Explanation:

Digestions refers to the breaking down of food (larger molecules) into smaller absorb-able units.

Chemical digestion refers to digestion of food with the help of chemicals such enzymes, acid, and bile.

Enzymes are the main type of chemicals which hydrolysis (breaking down of compound with the help of water) the macro-molecules such as polysaccharides, polypeptides, et cetera into smaller and simpler units.

For example, amylase hydrolyse polysaccharides into smaller units such as maltose and glucose; trypsin, chymotrypsin, pepsin are enzymes which hydrolyze polypeptides into amino acids, nucleases are the enzymes which help in hydrolysis of nucleic acids, et cetera.

Bile and lipases help in emulsification of fats.

Thus, the correct answer is option E.

Answer:

C. Carbon Dioxide

Explanation:

In a process called “photosynthesis,” plants use the energy in sunlight to convert CO2 and water to sugar and oxygen. The plants use the sugar for food—food that we use, too, when we eat plants or animals that have eaten plants — and they release the oxygen into the atmosphere.

Most people experience increased infant mortalities at high altitudes. Explain how a mutation that allows normal levels of infan

solmaris [256]

Answer:

Most people experience increased infant mortalities at high altitudes due to the inability of the mother to provide sufficient oxygen to the developing fetus but now variation in the DNA sequence in the people that lives at higher altitudes like in Tibetans allow normal level of infant survival at high altitudes.

This variation occurred in the EPAS1 gene in the Tibetan population that is responsible for delivering oxygen more efficiently to the fetus. This nucleotide variation is also present in low landers of Beijing but natural selection selected the variant gene in Tibetan people because they require this mutated gene for their survival.

So the population passed this variant gene in next-generation, therefore, inheritance allowed the spreading of the mutated gene to the next generation therefore by natural selection and inheritance a mutated gene spread through a human population that had just begun living high in the mountains.
