The answer to this question would be: triglyceride

Triglyceride is made of a glycerol with three fatty acids. A similar structure to this would be the diglyceride which was consist of glycerol with two fatty acids. Triglyceride could transport adipose fat or glucose to or from the liver. A high level of triglyceride is linked to heart disease and other atherosclerotic.

zhenek [66]
I cannot find the list of molecules and organs, but I gonna explain all existing lipid digestion.
First, you should know that triglycerides are not absorbable. The absorbable substances are free fatty acids, monoglycerides and cholesterol.

The main stages of lipid digestion:-Fat emulsification;
-Hydrolysis of lipids (by enzymes);
-Formation of micelles;
-Endocytosis of the micellar contents.

The enzymes responsible for lipid hydrolysis are:
lipases (pancreatic): secreted by the exocrine pancreas
colipase: secreted by the pancreas in an inactive form. Its role is to help the lipase in its activity.
cholesterol esterase: secreted by the pancreas too.
phospholipase A2: exists in the majority of the cells

Which of the following tags should be used to retrieve information from a
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is A. Nucleotide sequence, human, hemoglobin</em>

Explanation:

If the segment of the DNA for the human gene is known then it will be very easy to find the gene on a database. The tags which should be used will be the nucleotide sequence, where the known sequence shall be mentioned.

Then we will choose the tag for the organism which is humans in this case. Then we will select the tag for the protein which is made by the nucleotide sequence, which is protein in this case. Hence, option A is the correct answer.

A microbiologist plated a bacterium on a specific medium. After incubation, she noted that the previously yellow medium was now
alexdok [17]

Answer:

A differential medium

Explanation:

Bacteria require nutrients for growth, and in order to culture (grow) them and study their characteristics, different types of media are used.

A selective media is used to grow a particular group of organism while suppressing another. So a selective media usually has an inhibitory agent, which will inhibit the growth of the undesired group. An antibiotic can be added to a medium to make it selective.

A general purpose medium as the name implies can be used to grow any group of bacteria. It has no inhibitory agent and indicator that differentiates between organisms. An example of general purpose media is nutrient agar .

A non-synthetic media is made from natural ingredients.

A differential media differentiates between groups of organisms. Example of differential media is MacConkey agar and Mannitol Salt agar. On MacConkey agar, lactose fermenting bacteria turn pink while non-lactose fermenting bacteria are colorless.

On Mannitol Salt agar, mannitol fermenting bacteria turn yellow while non-mannitol fermenting bacteria are colorless. Mannitol Salt agar is also a selective medium. It has a high salt concentration which inhibits certain organisms.

A client diagnosed with scabies has been prescribed lindane lotion.
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Answer is E. Apply a thin layer of lotion on the skin from the neck to the soles of the feet.

Explanation:

Scabies are described or known to be small bugs that burrow and  found crawling under the skin. They lay eggs and continue to multiply under the skin.

They cause rash on the skin and severe or intense itching, which normally get worse in the night.

The lindane lotion , when applied on the skin, goes through or enters the skin, and kills the scabies and their eggs.

The scabies do not affect the face of adults and older children.

The plasma membrane are composed of specific types of phospholipids that are asymmetrically distributed between the two monolaye
nlexa [21]

Answer:

b.Movement of phospholipids in the plasma membrane from one monolayer to the other requires the polar or charged head groupd to enter the hydrophobic interior of the lipid bilayer. This process requires a large positive change in free-energy, thus making this type of movement unlikely without an input of energy

The plasma membrane serves a protective function for the cell and is a selective membrane for particles entry
