As food passes through the GI tract, it mixes with digestive juices, causing large molecules of food to break down into smaller molecules. The body then absorbs these smaller molecules through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream, which delivers them to the rest of the body.
Answer:
consisting of one new and one old chain of nucleotides.
is described as semi-conservative, half of the chain is part of the original DNA molecule, half is brand new.
Answer:
<u>d. Transport proteins within the membrane serve as a tunnel for molecules to enter the cell.
</u>

Explanation:
Solutes are typically moved across the cell through either passive or active transport. The cells, surrounded by a bilipid layer or plasma membrane is amphiphlic- its polar, hydrophilic lipid heads face outwards, while their non-polar hydrophobic lipid tails face inwards towards each other.
While lipid-soluble molecules move across the layer easily, it is also difficult for charged and also large molecules to move across its surface, into the cell. Transmembrane channels, <u>embedded within the membrane</u>, help to maintain selective permeability as transport proteins, pores and gated channels. Simple diffusion happens as a method of passive transport in cells through plasma membranes.
The solutes travel through the plasma membrane in the process of diffusion from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration; this occurs without the use of energy. <u>Molecules moving against their concentration require active transport mechanism to cross the membrane</u>.
<span>Mitosis
is a process whereby somatic cell divides while meiosis is a process in which
germ cell divides.</span>Both are
essential processes that occur during development. However, delay in mitosis can result into
alteration in cell kinetics pattern resulting in depletions of all populations.
Interphase: You could not distinguish any parts of the cell.
Prophase: You could clearly see the chromosomes throughout the cell.
Metaphase: The chromosomes where lines up in the middle of the cell.
Anaphase: You could see the chromosomes were separated to ether side of the cell.
Telophase: The entire cell was separated to each side but was not split into its own cell.
Cytokinesis: In this step the cell had totally separated and there was now two separate daughter cells.
