What is the function of lipoprotein lipase?
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Hydrolysis of triglycerides in lipoproteins

Explanation:

Lipoprotein lipase is a water-soluble enzyme which includes pancreatic lipase, hepatic lipase, and endothelial lipase.  

Enzymes involved in triacylglycerol digestion are lipases and they catalyze the partial hydrolysis of triglycerides into a mixture of free fatty acids and acylglycerols. After digestion of lipids, monoglycerides and fatty acids associate with bile salts and phopholipids to form micelles. Micelles are structures that are necessary for the transport the poorly soluble monoglycerides and fatty acids to the surface of the enterocyte. But, micelles cannot be absorbed by epithelial cell, only freely dissolved monoglycerides and fatty acids can.

Explain why crops in the arctic grow larger than normal during the summer months
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

More sunlight, more photosynthesis

Explanation:

This is because when the sunlight hits the leaves, it allows photosynthesis to occur. But when you have extended periods of sunlight, like summer, it causes photosynthesis to continue for a longer time, which causes rapid energy storage. This makes excess food for the plant which gives the plant more energy for growth and pollination.

Hope this clears it up for ya:)

Why are common names a problem for scientist?
Bess [88]

It can be confusing because it isn't specific enough. In astronomy, the big dipper is not a spoon. It is a bear. Scientists know it as Ursa Major rather than a dipper or bear.
