Answer: villi

Explanation:

In a human digestive system, small intestine is responsible for fat digestion. small intestine consist of small finger like projections called villi which functions the fat digestion by increasing the surface area for nutrient absortion.

The surface mucous-membranous layer protects the heart of a villus. This is composed mainly of two types of cells including columnar cells which absorb the substances passed into the blood and lymphatic vessels; and goblet cells, rounded at the end, which secrete mucus into the intestinal cavity.

Hence, villi increases the surfcae area for nutrient absorption in the small intestine.

Glycolysis ends in the production of _____.
ELEN [110]

The answer to this question is pyruvic acid.

This process is also known as the Embden-Meyerhof  or glycolytic pathway and is undoubtedly the most common pathway for glucose degradation to pyruvate in the second stage of catabolism. It is found in all major groups of microorganisms  and functions in the presence or absence of oxygen.  Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasmic matrix of prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

The pathway as a whole is divided into two parts: The initial 6 carbon stage  and secondly, the 3 carbon stage.

One of the products, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate,  is converted directly to pyruvic acid in a five step process.

If you could genetically modify a livestock organism, what would you modify and what
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Genetic modifications to livestock would most likely suit to increase their longevity and marketability.

Explanation:

One of the bigger problems facing livestock is disease. Genes for bacterial resistance would likely increase the yield of livestock over time. Additionally, livestock raised in hot/cold climates could benefit from genes that adapt them better to these conditions. For example, cattle raised in hot conditions would benefit from genes that increase sweating or decrease passive water loss like through defecation.

Additionally, tailoring livestock to consumer desires would increase marketability, and therefore profit. For example, an ideal steak has a set fat content. Genetically modifying cows to maintain this fat content would increase the value of its meat.

5. Imagine that you encounter two color morphs of S. marcescens in natural environment. If you do not have any prior knowledge o
Elodia [21]

Answer:

According to the given question that without prior knowledge on the prodigiosin synthesis pathway of these Serratia species, and we experience two different color morphs of the species. So, there is given or known preliminary morphological basis we will consider them different two different colonies. These can be identify only after genetically identify or study.

The morphological characterstics of the organism and the genetic identification both are equally important. So Giving any one more importance over other is not logical.

Morphologically we can differentiate the color of the colonies of mutants. The mutant serratia sp. are  known for eficient biosynthesis of prodigiosin, Thus on the basis of color characteristics of their colonies when grown on peptone glycerol medium we can identify.
