of this juice?
Medicine
1 answer:
grin007 [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The correct answer is the duodenum.

Explanation:

Pancreatic juice is an alkaline fluid which contains important enzymes for the digestion of proteins, carbohydrates and fats.  

Pancreatic juice is secreted by the pancreas when food enters the stomach which is released into the "duodenum" of the small intestine. The pancreatic juice enters duodenum through a pancreatic duct which joins with the bile duct coming from the liver and form "ampulla of Vater" in the duodenum.

Pancreatic juice helps in digestion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats as it contains pro-enzymes and enzymes like trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, lipase and many more. It also makes the acidic stomach solution alkaline due to the presence of HCO₃.

Thus, the duodenum is the correct answer.

Explain why during peak, exhausting levels of activity glycolysis generates the greater amount of ATP compared to the mitochondr
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The answer to this question lies in the number of steps, and substances, that are needed in order to yield ATP from ADP. While in anaerobic glycolysis pyruvic acid and lactic acid will yield their energy so that ADP can be re-synthetized into ATP, producing 2 molecules of ATP from that simple chain of reaction, aerobic glycolysis depends on the presence of oxygen, and several more chemical steps, chemical reactions, in order to finally yield all the ATPs it can yield.

Explanation:

When we are talking about intense training, like a sudden sprint, we are talking about the body needing ATP as fast as it possibly can get it so the muscles can move. Because of this immediacy, the body resorts first to its stores in muscle tissue and in the liver, to feed the anaerobic processes for ATP formation. The other process, called the Lactic Acid system, is the second of the anaerobic processes and its benefit is that while not requiring oxygen to produce ATP, it will use the stores of glycogen in the muscle and the liver, and through the chemical reactions of enzymes, it will produce enough ATP to power the exercise for at least a few minutes, without having to resort to the aerobic system. The number of steps taken to yield ATP are much lesser, and thus much more immediate, than in aerobic glycolysis.

Which of the following statements correctly compares water-soluble and lipid-soluble hormones?
frozen [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is option E. only water-soluble hormones use second messengers.

Explanation:

Water soluble hormones can not diffuse through cell membranes as only lipid soluble molecules can pass through the cell membranes and these hormons are not lipid soluble molecules,

These water hormones are usually glycoproteins, peptide and catecholamnies such as TSH, FSH, LH and insulin. these hormones need second messengers because there receptors are present on the plasma membrane.

Thus, the correct answer is option - e.  only water-soluble hormones use second messengers.
