A polysaccharide called starch consists entirely of glucose molecules. during early stages of starch digestion, starch would be broken down into<u> Maltose </u>

<u>Explanation: </u>

The start of the digestion happens in the mouth which is the first organ of the digestive system; the mouth contains salivary amylase that is present in the saliva.

<u>The complete hydrolysis of starch yields, in successive stages, glucose: </u>

<em>starch → dextrins → maltose → glucose </em>

This amylase breaks down starch into several units of Maltose and sends it to the next organ. This partially digested starch is completely digested into several glucose molecules in the intestine by various enzymes.

Maltose or malt sugar, is a disaccharide comprised of two glucose molecules. The most well-known disaccharide is sucrose, which is made of glucose and fructose.

Which are the main points of the cell theory? Select all that apply.
shutvik [7]

Answer Options:

a. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things.

b. New cells are produced from existing cells.

c. All cells enclose their DNA within a nucleus.

d. All living things are made up of cells.

Answer:

a. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things.

b. New cells are produced from existing cells.

d. All living things are made up of cells.

Explanation:

Cell theory states that cell living organisms are composed of at least one cell, which are the basic unit of life.

Cells are always produced from other living cells, and cannot spontaneously generate.

However, not all cells enclose their DNA within a nucleus, prokaryotic organisms (bacteria) do not possess a nucleus but still have DNA

comparative profile for covid-19 cases from china and north america: clinical symptoms, comorbidities and disease biomarkers
Hatshy [7]

Different people are affected by COVID-19 in various ways. The symptoms experienced by infected individuals have ranged widely, from little discomfort to serious sickness.

  • The susceptibility to and prognosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by coronavirus 2 or coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been found to vary greatly amongst individuals and populations.
  • Intervention in public health must take into account these variations and how they affect susceptibility to infection and the severity of disease.
  • The distinctions between the COVID-19 case profiles from China and North America may be due to regional variations in host, environmental, and healthcare-related factors.
  • These inter-population variances, together with intra-population variability, highlight the need to identify how health inequities and inequalities affect the public health response to COVID-19 and can help with preparing for the epidemic's resurgence.

Materials are returned to the blood from the filtrate by which process?
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer: REABSORPTION

Explanation: Reabsorption or tubular reabsorption is one of the processes involved in urine formation,the other two(2) being ultra filteration and and active secretion.

Reabsorption takes place mainly in the proximal convulated tubule of the nephron, nearly all of the water, glucose, potassium, and amino acids lost during glomerular filtration re-enter the blood from the renal tubules,moving solutes out of the filtrate and back into the bloodstream.these solutes that are moved back into the bloodstream goes back into circulation alongside with the blood because it is needed for the normal functioning of the body system and maintanance of homeostasis.

In a situation where tubular reabsorption does not occur as a result of certain conditions like hyposecretion and diabetes insipidus,there will be imbalance of ions in the body as a result of useful ions leaving the body via urine and the body is left with ion deficiency.

Why do resistant bacteria multiply faster after a patient has taken antibiotics compared to a healthy person who has not taken a
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

When patient takes in antibiotics the resistance bacteria gets a competitive survival advantage over the normal sensitive bacteria and hence grows faster.

Explanation:

  • Bacteria can acquire resistance by taking in plasmids containing MDR (Multi-Drug Resistance) gene cassettes. The MDR genes produces proteins that can:
  1. Render the antibiotic ineffective to act on its target by inducing chemical modifications on the drug.
  2. Promote efflux of the drug from the bacterial cell so that the drug cannot act upon its target.
  • When a healthy person ( having no prior exposure to the antibiotic) is infected by bacteria ( both sensitive and resistant varieties):
  1. A competition develops for the host cells and nutrients between the sensitive and the resistant variety.
  2. This mutual competition restricts either of the sensitive or resistant bacterial strain to grow profusely.
  • When a person (having prior antibiotic exposure), gets infected by bacteria ( both sensitive and resistant varieties) and is exposed to the same antibiotic:
  1. The sensitive variety, due to its sensitivity towards the drug, gets killed.
  2. The resistant variety, due to its MDR genes, bypasses the lethal effect of the drug and survives.
  3. These surviving resistant bacteria can now infect all the available host cells and utilise all the available nutrients without facing any competition and multiply rapidly.

What is difference between paranchyma tissues and sclernchyma tissues ?
Elodia [21]

Answer:

Parenchyma cells are the abundant cells that make up ground tissues in plants.They are flat at point of contact.they have thin primary cell walls and have large vacuoles for storage of food.In leaves they are called mesophyll and are sites of photosynthesis.In other parts they are sites for respiration and protein synthesis.

Sclerenchyma cells are cells with rigid secondary cell walls.Their cell walls are hardened with lignin which is the main chemical component of wood.Mature sclerenchyma cells cannot elongate and most of them are dead.
