Answer:

Proteins, nucleic acids, lipids and carbohydrates.

Explanation:

Proteins: The basic unit of proteins are amino acids. Proteins are organic compounds related to building metabolism. During the growth and development phases of the individual, there is an extraordinary increase in the number of cells that start to perform specialized functions, generating tissues and organs.

Nucleic acids: Its basic unit is the nucleotides. Present in the eukaryotic nucleus and dispersed in the prokaryotic hyaloplasma, nucleic acids can be of two types: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), both related to the mechanism of cellular metabolic control (cell function) and hereditary transmission of characteristics.

Lipids: the basic unit of lipids are fatty acid molecules associated with the glycerol molecule. Lipids are organic molecules formed from the association between fatty acids and alcohol, such as oils and fats. They are not soluble in water, but they dissolve in organic solvents, such as benzine and ether. They have a whitish or slightly yellow color. According to the nature of fatty acid and alcohol that form lipids, they can be classified into four major groups: simple, complex, derivatives and precursors.

Carbohydrate: The basic unit of carbohydrates are sugar molecules. Carbohydrates have as their main function the energy function. However, carbohydrates have functions that go beyond guaranteeing energy for cells, which are also related to the structure of nucleic acids and structural functions, for example.

Food being digested in the stomach is in a highly acidic environment. When the food is released from the stomach into the small
Rudik [331]

Secretin increases the flow of bicarbonate ions from the pancreas into the small intestine to neutralize stomach acid.

Gastric acid regulation, pancreatic bicarbonate modulation, and osmoregulation are the three primary roles of secretin. Pancreatic fluid stimulation and bicarbonate secretion are two of secretin's main physiological effects.

Peptide hormones released by endocrine cells in the digestive system include secretin and CCK. While CCK enhances the synthesis and secretion of bile juice and pancreatic enzymes, Secretin stimulates the release of water and bicarbonate ions from the pancreas.

A pancreatic fluid that is high in bicarbonate is secreted when secretin is present. By interacting with pancreatic ductal cells, secretin enters the bloodstream or intestinal lumen and increases the production of bicarbonate, which lowers the pH of the gastric chyme as it enters the small intestine.

To learn more about the small intestine refer to:

Alexxx [7]
The repressor proteins obstruct the interpretation of the basic qualities is that it ties to the administrator when initiated. Tryptophan ties to and initiates the repressor proteins; the repressor proteins, thusly, tie to the administrator, forestalling interpretation.
