Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

The emulsification of fats is necessary so as to allow to easy break down of large molecules of fats into smaller droplets increasing their surface are such that enzymes like lipases can act on them, digest them breaking them down into fatty acids and glycerol to be easily absorbed by the small intestine.

Answer:

c. increase the surface area available for hydrolysis by lipase

Explanation:

Emulsification of fats(fatty acid) is a chemical reaction where large molecules(globules) of fats are broken down into a smaller molecules (droplets) by the action of an emulsifier.

In the human body, emulsification takes places in the duodenum during the process of digestion of fats. When large fat molecules have been broken down into smaller fat molecules by action of an emulsifier called bile salts from the gall bladder, a larger surface area is created which makes it possible for the enzyme lipase from the pancreas to react with or act on fat molecules through the process of hydrolysis thereby converting the fats to fatty acids and glycerol for use by the body.

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

c. individuals of a single species that live and interact in one area

Explanation:

When some organisms belonging to a single species live together in an area, they make a population. Since members of a population belong to the same species, they are able to interbreed among themselves to produce viable and fertile progeny. They have the same resource requirement and interact with each other. All the plants of <em>Mangifera indica</em> present in an area make a population. Likewise, a group of <em>Panthera tigris</em> living in a forest together makes the tiger population of that area.

galben [10]

Answer:

E) horizontal gene transfer

Explanation:

Horizontal gene transfer(HGT) is mainly seen in bacteria. Bacteria exchange their genetic material from the horizontal gene transfer method. There are three methods in HGT- conjugation, transduction, and transformation.

In conjugation, the bacteria exchange their plasmid through sex pilus. In transformation, bacteria take up other's genetic material from its environment and in transduction virus-mediated gene transfer occurs.  

Therefore in bacteria and nucleus, the genetic material exchange can occur only through HGT.

What do isotherms show? Points of equal humidity Points of equal wind speed Points of equal air pressure Points of equal tempera
maksim [4K]

Answer:

points of equal temperature

Explanation:

The isotherms are closed circular lines that connect dots where the temperature has same value. These lines are very easy to read and they are very useful when it comes to reading a map that has them on, as they will provide us with the information about the temperature. The isotherms are often used in the weather programs and meteorological prognosis, so we pretty much see them every day, but unfortunately the majority of the people do not know what they are and what are they representing.
