There are choices for this question, namely:


a. amino acids, fatty acids, and glucose
b. glycerol, protein, and glucose
c. fatty acids, amino acids, and pepsin
d. amino acids, fiber, and glycerol
e. glucose, pepsin, and cholesterol


The correct answer is "amino acids, fatty acids, and glucose". In a simpler sense, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose (a monosaccharide) that can be absorbed in the intestines. Fats in the form of triglyceride is are broken down into fatty acids and monoglycerides (not glycerol). Proteins are broken down into amino acids. 

<em>
</em>

<em>Pepsin is an enzyme that aids protein digestion. Fiber is mainly composed of cellulose or plant carbohydrates that the human body cannot break down as we lack the enzyme for it. Glycerol is not released from triglycerides from digestion but instead monoglycerides (only two fatty acids from triglycerides are released).</em>

What are the lines of evidence that Alfred Wegener used to support the idea of continental drift? Why did scientists of his day
Zanzabum

Answer:

Wegener presented a number of evidence to prove his plate tectonic theory, such as :

  • The matching of rocks on each side of the Atlantic Ocean like a puzzle.
  • His knowledge hat organisms such as freshwater reptiles were found in almost all continents
  • He also identified organisms that live in different continents, and could not possibly cross over to the other continents due to water bodies (oceans) separating the continents.

Wegener's plate tectonic theory caused doubts to other scientists, because of the way he presented his evidence. Other scientists considered his mechanisms unrealistic

Mark is studying jellyfish in a small body of water. Mollusks are a primary food source for jellyfish, and a large number of mol
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Carrying capacity for the jellyfish would reduce

Explanation:

Carrying capacity of a biological population in an ecosystem is the maximum number of population size the environment or habitat can conveniently cater for given the available resources such as, food, water supply, space etc.

The survival of the jelly fish largely in the small body of water would be largely dependent on how much food that is available.

The large number of mollusks harvested would reduce the available food in the small body of water, hence, reducing the carrying capacity for jellyfish.

The attachment of nucleotides to form a complementary strand of DNA during replication
olga2289 [7]

Answer: is accomplished by DNA polymerase.

Explanation: DNA polymerase is an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of a complementary strand of a DNA molecule during replication. The double stranded DNA helix is first unwind by the enzyme known as helicase giving rise to two DNA strands which serve as templates for replication. DNA polymerase then binds to a primer, a short nucleotide sequence and catalyzes the attachment of nucleotides to the primer to form a growing strand that is complementary to the parent DNA.
