Yes, because broken apart food is easier to take nutrition out from.  Please mark Brainliest!!!

When you break the food into smaller pieces there is a greater total surface area for the food to react with the acids in your stomach.

The graph shows the effect of pH on the rate of reaction to three different enzymes. What does the graph show?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Regarding the effect of pH on the reaction rate of three different enzymes, what the graph shows is that each enzyme works better at different pH (option A).

Explanation:

Enzymes are specialized protein molecules whose function is to contribute to faster reactions with lower activation energy. To fulfill this function, <u>enzymes must be in an optimal range of temperature and pH</u>.

The graph shows three enzymes, one in an acidic medium, one in a neutral medium and one in a basic medium. The reaction rate of each enzyme is similar, indicating that each is working at an optimum pH. The best interpretation that can be drawn from the graph is that each enzyme works best at a different pH.

The other options are not correct because:

<em>     B. The variable "</em><u><em>temperature</em></u><em>" is not included in the graph. </em>

<em>     C and D. Since the comparison of the reaction rate of a single enzyme at different pH is not being made, the graph is not useful to indicate whether an </em><u><em>enzyme works better in acidic or basic conditions</em></u><em>.</em>

Each phospholipid is made up of?
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Each phospholipid is made up of 2 fatty acid molecules, a phosphate group and a molecule of glycerol.

The fatty acid molecules are formed by long chains of carbon and hydrogen.The phosphate group is formed by an atom of the element phosphors which is attached to four oxygen atoms. The fatty acids make the tail and are hydrophobic. The phosphate group makes the head.

Due to their structure, phospholipids are best suited to make the cell membrane in organisms.

A patient has been diagnosed with Horner’s syndrome, a disorder that is due to damage of sympathetic nerves that travel to the e
Andrej [43]
Question: Is the pre-synaptic or the post-synaptic neuron damaged? Explain your rationale in detail (in other words, detail how you came to your conclusion). You're going to have to really think on this one. It's not something you can look up in the text. You will need to use what you have learned about the autonomic nervous system and some critical thinking to arrive at the answer.

Horner's Syndrome riddle: Ach is the neurotransmitter at all ANS preganglionic fibers, including SNS. The pt has decreased sweating and pupil constriction, indicating blockage of SNS transmission. When the MD gave ACh it induced sweating, but not pupil dilation. This is because the sweat glands are an exception in normal SNS transmission, as the postganglionic fibers utilize ACh as their neurotransmitters. Other SNS pathways utilize NE as their neurotransmitter. So ACh acted directly on the sweat gland to produce sweating, but could not stimulate the typical postsynaptic neurons to release NE. When the MD gave NE he saw pupil dilation, but not sweating, indicating the NE worked directly at the iris to produce pupil dilation. This indicaates the problem was with the postsganglionic neuron. If the preganglionic neuron were the problem injecting ACh would have solved both problems.
