Starch molecules are hydrolyzed into smaller units knows as

Starches are known as polysaccharides. If we look at the word "polysaccharide" poly means "many" and saccharide means "sugar" so we can infer that a polysaccharide is a molecule composed of many sugars. We can also refer to starches as complex meaning that they are composed of simpler subunits. Those subunits are simple sugars (AKA monosaccharides) such as glucose, fructose, and galactose. When we hydrolyze a compound, we break it down into smaller components. Based on all of this information, hydrolyzed starches breaks it down into simple sugars such as glucose, fructose, etc. I hope the explanation is helpful.

If a molecule of co2 released into the blood in your left toe is exhaled from your nose, it must passed all the following except

Feliz [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a, that is, pulmonary vein.

Explanation:

After getting discharged from the left toe, the molecule of carbon dioxide is exhaled through the nose, and in the process, it moves via the trachea, the alveoli, the right ventricle, and the right atrium. However, it does not passes through the pulmonary vein as the prime function of the pulmonary vein is to carry oxygenated blood obtained from the lungs and to pass it to the heart's left atrium.

The pulmonary vein is different from other veins found within the body, which carries deoxygenated blood or blood filled with carbon dioxide from different parts of the body to the heart. Thus, it is clear that carbon dioxide does not pass through the pulmonary vein.
