So the breakdown of lipids actually starts in the mouth. Your saliva has this little enzyme called lingual lipase, which breaks down these fats into something called diglycerides. These diglycyerides then make there way to the intestines, where they stimulate the pancreas to release lipase (another fat breaking enzyme!) and the pancreas to release bile. The bile and pancreatic juices both work together to break these diglycerides into fatty acids. It’s helpful to know some of the root words. Glycerol- the framework to which the fatty acids stick. Glyceride- think of this guy as several fatty acids stuck to a glycerol. Lipids- think fats, and their derivatives (our glyceride friends.) tri/di/mono- these are just number prefixes! Lipids are one glycerol molecule, and then either one, two, or three fatty acids attached, which is where you get mono(1)/di(2)/tri(3)glyceride from. I know this was long, but hopefully it helps!
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Photosynthesis by tiny marine plants (phytoplankton) in the sunlit surface waters turns the carbon into organic matter. Many organisms use carbon to make calcium carbonate, a building material of shells and skeletons
(A) The structure is the cell wall. The cell wall protects the cell from damage. It is also there to make the cell strong, to keep its shape.
(B) Structure Z is a chloroplast. Chloroplasts work to convert light energy of the Sun and turn it in to sugars that can be used by the cells. This process is also called photosynthesis.
(C) Since chloroplasts create sugar for a plant cell, fungi has mitochondria. Fungi uses mitochondria which create ATP (also know as Adenosine Triphosphate) which is energy. Therefore, fungi doesn’t need chloroplasts.
Answer:
The given blank can be filled with a venule.
Explanation:
A small blood vessel in the microcirculation, which connects the capillary beds to the veins is known as the venules. Various venules combine to form a vein. The walls of a venule are formed of three layers, that is, the inner endothelium formed of squamous endothelial cells, a middle layer of elastic and muscle tissue, and an external layer formed of fibrous connective tissue.
The size of a venule ranges from 8 to 100 micrometers in diameter and are produced when capillaries come in close association. A venule refers to a small blood vessel that permits the deoxygenated blood high in carbon dioxide and waste products to return from capillary beds to the bigger blood vessels known as veins.
Answer: is the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor to the equilibrium vapor pressure of water at a given temperature. Relative humidity depends on temperature and the pressure of the system of interest. The same amount of water vapor results in higher relative humidity in cool air than warm air. A related parameter is the dew point.
