The plasma/cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer that is made up of mostly unsaturated fats.
Answer:
The best choice from the answer options for the question: Which of the following is NOT true about absorption of fats, would be: C: The chylomicrons enter the blood in the villi capillaries.
Explanation:
Because of the characteristics of fatty acids, and fats in general, they are not able to either pass the intestinal enterocytes, and enter the bloodstream, as easily as glucose, or other molecules, can. Instead, they first must be passed into the enterocytes, the intenstines´ cells, by their combination with bile. Once inside the intestine, the enterocytes take up the fats and combines them with lipoproteins and cholesterol in order to create the chylomicrons. But before these chylomicrons can make their way to the blood, first they must be taken up by the lymphatic vessels present in the villus of the intestinal epithelium, not the blood capillaries. It will be the lymphatic system which will be reponsible for passing the fats to the bloodstream, who will then distribute them to the appropriate cells in the body as energy is required. Or they will be taken for storage by the liver.
Answer:
A true
Explanation:
Living things are made of four types of molecules, known as macromolecules. These macromolecules are proteins, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), lipids (fats) and carbohydrates. Each type of macromolecule is made of its own building blocks, which are intricately connected to form different shapes.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
For the body to maintain stable conditions for optimal working of biochemical activities in cells, then it will require to constantly readjust any imbalances and offshoots that occur (which is the case regularly) through a positive and negative feedback mechanism. An example is blood sugar. After food intake, the blood sugars tend to rise a bit and the body produces more insulin to communicate to the cells to take up the excess glucose from the blood and store it. During starvation when the blood sugar tends to drop below normal levels, the level of insulin is reduced and that of glucagon is heightened. This causes the stored glucose to be released into the blood to restore homeostatic levels. This kind of balancing act happens with many other variables in the body.
