Describe an investigation into the effect of bile on fat digestion. You are given some cloudy fat suspension, which turns clear

when all of the fat in it has been digested. You are also given some bile and some lipase solution. Be sure to make your investigation valid and reliable.

Because bile contains salts and digestive compounds and lipase is a digestive enzyme, you might create a simple qualitative experiment to test the action of bile and lipase. Bile is first used to emulsify and break down food entering the small intestine, and lipase is used afterwards by the pancreas to break down fats. With this information, I suggest this experiment:
1) Label 4 test tubes A, B, C, and D. Divide the fat solution equally into the 4 tubes.
2) In tube B, add an x amount (but not the whole volume) of the bile solution.
3) in tube C, add a y amount (but not the whole volume) of lipase solution.
4) in tube D, add the x amount of bile and the y amount of lipase solution. 
5) Swirl/mix until everything looks homogenized/settled.
6) tube A is your control. Compare the 3 other tubes to it and write observations. You should be able to make conclusions about the role of bile in digesting a fatty solution, and the extent of digestion with and without the additional lipase. 
Hope this is helpful!~ There are certainly many other possible experiments.

Same volume  of fat suspension into each of two boiling

tubes. Place in water bath with thermometer, and wait

until balanced . Add equal volumes  of lipase solution

to each, and bile to only one . Time how long it takes each

tube to clear.

Assuming the stomata are open to the same degree, the rate of transpiration should _____ on a rainy day compared with a sunny da
Allushta [10]

Answer:

decline: decrease

Explanation:

Transpiration is the loss of water from stomata by the process of evaporation. It occurs by the process of diffusion and is driven by the concentration gradient of water vapor. The higher the concentration gradient between air and leaf cells, the higher is the rate of diffusion of water.

On a sunny day, the rate of transpiration is higher since air is less humid and the concentration of water inside the leaf is higher. On the other hand, the air is more humid on a rainy day. The increased water vapor content of air reduces the concentration gradient between air and leaf cells. The reduced concentration gradient decreases the rate of transpiration.

Which statement best describes the evolutionary significance of mutualism?
krok68 [10]

Answer:

C) Interaction increases the survival and reproductive rates of mutualistic species.

Explanation:

A) Mutualism offer more biodiversity to a community.

    Biodiversity is the different species living in one environment. Since mutualism is only involving two species, it wouldn't increase the biodiversity of one ecosystem, making it incorrect.

B) Individuals partaking in a mutualistic relationship relationship are more resistant to parasites.

    Mutualism is only benefiting two species, not their immunity to diseases and parasites. These two have no correlation with each other, making it incorrect.

D) Mutualistic interaction lessens competition in communities where it is present.

    Since mutualism is only benefiting two species, they have no correlation since the relationship doesn't affect the different species in the environment.

E) Mutualistic relationships allow organisms to synthesize and use energy more efficiently.

    Although there could be some relationships involving energy transfer between the species, that would sound more like commensalism or even paratsitism if you think about it. However, it is very uncommon and usually energy has no relationship with species relationships, making it incorrect.

Hope this helps! My deepest apologies if I got in incorrect!
