Hello, I figured your question was missing its options so I went online to find them. Here they are:

You have just eaten a meal high in complex carbohydrates. Which of the following enzymes will help to digest the meal?

A. gastrin

B. amylase

C. trypsin

D. cholecystokinin

Answer:

The correct answer is: amylase.

Explanation:

Amylase is an enzyme used to catalyze the hydrolysis of starch into sugars. <u>A meal high in complex carbohydrates will be digested thanks to the presence of amylase</u>. This enzyme is present in the saliva, where the chemical process of digestion begins. Amylase also acts in the salivary gland and the pancreas by hydrolyzing starch into disaccharides and trisaccharides that will later be converted into glucose for the body to use as energy supply.

<u>Gastrin is a peptide hormone</u> that stimulates the secretion of gastric acid. It's not an enzyme.

<u>Trypsin is an enzyme that hydrolyzes proteins</u>. If you've eaten a meal high in carbohydrates, trypsin will not be of much use.

<u>Cholecystokinin is also a peptide hormone</u> that stimulates the digestion of fat and protein, which won't happen with a meal high in carbohydrates. It's also not an enzyme, but a hormone.

Why are proteins not usually used for energy?
Allushta [10]
Turning amino acids into molecules that can be used in the Krebs cycle takes energy, which means that burning protein for fuel is not as efficient as burning carbohydrates. ... When amino acids are used as an energy source, it reduces the reserves of amino acids that are available for protein synthesis.

7. Calculate the density of a liquid with a volume of 13 mL and a mass of 6.94 grams. Round your
Masja [62]

Answer:

Density = mass/volume = 57g/4.2 mL ≈ 13.6 g/mL

Explanation:

Mass = 57 g                              Volume = 4.2 mL

The density of mercury is ⇒ 13.6 g/cm3.

Trust me I got it wrong and it gave me this. I just did the instruction.

What is the relationship of nitrogen and grass
fredd [130]

Nitrogen is the major nutrient required by grass and is used to stimulate high growth rates and is key to achieving high yields, however if too much nitrogen is applied this can have a negative effects on quality.

High rates of nitrogen can also cause problems with silage fermentation due to excess nitrate having a negative impact on the fermentation process and will produce silage that is less palatable and the animals will be less keen to eat it.

<span> <span> </span> </span> <span> Nitrate is generally taken up by grasses quicker than it is incorporated into proteins and until used this excess known as luxury uptake is stored in the leaves. Excess nitrate will be present if insufficient time is allowed between application and mowing and can also occur under conditions of poor growth eg low light levels, cool temperatures. It is also a problem if there is a dry spell after application, when nitrate cannot be taken up by the roots, followed by a period of wet weather that results in luxury uptake. The plant cannot convert it to protein quickly enough so it accumulates in the plant. </span>

High rates of nitrogen may cause a reduction in crop sugars as they are used to provide energy for the increased rate of plant growth and for the manufacture of plant proteins and this increased growth rate may in turn lead to lower crop dry matter content although in practice this is often not significant.

Excess nitrate can be avoided by following the Grassland Rule to apply nitrogen at the rate of no more than 2.5 kg N/ha/day.
