Answer: Fat

Explanation:

The liver is one of the most important organ of the body which helps in removal of toxins from the body.

There are many functions of liver in the body but one of the main functions is that it aids in the digestion of fat by secreting bile juice.

It also processes the nutrients that is being digested and absorbed in the small intestine. The bile juice that is secreted by the liver is sent via duct to the stomach which helps in emulsification of fat.

It breaks down the large fat molecules into droplets called micelles. It also activates the enzyme named lipase which also helps in the digestion of fat.

So, blockage in the hepatic duct will interfere with the digestion of fat.

Concerning proton movement in mitochondria and chloroplasts, the __________ have a __________ H+ concentration. Choose one: A. l

umka2103 [35]

Answer: The answer is D - Intramembrane space in mitochondria; high

Explanation:

Mitochondria is an organelle in the cell, it is known as the power House of the cell because of its role in the storage and production of energy. During electron transport chain the proton pumps generate a proton gradient which is stored in form of energy.

During proton pumping and electron transfer the electrons are passed down the chain from the matrix to the inter membrane of the mitochondria. The electrons move from higher concentration of level to lower energy level. Some of these are used to pump Hydrogen ions (H+), moving them out of the matrix into the inter membrane space.

The Intramembrane space of the mitochondria therefore has a a high concentration of Hydrogen ions (H+).

I hope this helps.
