Petroleum Products
Petroleum and its products are mainly composed of carbon polymers (chains), as the backbone, with different structural and functional groups. Plastic, for example, is made of polypropylene and polybutylene which is mainly made of carbon atoms, whose monomers are linked in a chain to form polymers that make up the products.
Synthetic rubber on the other hand is made of copolymers of carbon and other addictives such as styrene. Synthetic fiber is made of nylon that is composed of a copolymer between carboxylic acid and amides.
Cheese is composed of fats and proteins. On reaching the stomach gastric juice is produced, which contains pepsin that acts on proteins to form dipeptides. In the duodenum, enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin released from the pancrease acts on dipeptides to produce peptides. Bile juice from the bile acts on fats to form small fats droplets a process called emulsification. In the small intestines enzyme peptidase acts on peptides to form amino acids, while enzyme lipase acts on fat droplets to produce fatty acids and glycerol. Amino acids, fatty acids and glycerol are then absorbed into the blood stream.
Answer:
Elements are made up of only one type of atom.
Each element has a unique chemical symbol.
Elements can be identified by their atomic number.
Answer:
Food moves through your GI tract by a process called peristalsis. The large, hollow organs of your GI tract contain a layer of muscle that enables their walls to move. The movement pushes food and liquid through your GI tract and mixes the contents within each organ.
