Why do some big molecules such as starch, protein and fat need to be digested?

1 answer:

Veronika [31]4 years ago

3 0

Answer:

Macromolecules such as starches, proteins, and fats store great amount of energy (ATP) by making comlpex chemical bonding. This energy cannot be extracted unless they are digested (broken) first. Therefore, organisms with the help of enzymes break the big molecules to make them simpler compounds. Thereon, energy is extracted through series of chemcial reactions occuring within the animal body, i.e. glycolysis, electron transport chain, etc.

Rabbit ears can be either shorter floppy where short ears or dominant over floppy ears there are 653 individuals in a population

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

frequency of dominant and recessive alleles - 0.6, 0.4

frequency of individuals with dominant, heterozygous and recessive genotypes - 0.36, 0.48, 0.16

Explanation:

Given -

Short ears (S) is dominant over floppy ears.

Total population of rabbits $= 653$

Population of rabbits with floppy ears $= 104$

Population of rabbits with short ears $= 549$

Frequency of rabbits with floppy ears is equal to

$\frac{104}{653} \\= 0.159$

Thus as per Hardy weinberg's equation, frequency of recessive phenotype is represented by $q^2\\$

Thus,

$q^2 = 0.159 =0.16\\q = \sqrt{0.16} \\q = 0.4$

Thus,

$p = 1-q\\p = 1-0.4\\p= 0.6$

Frequency of rabbits with short ears only

$= p^ 2 \\= 0.6^2\\= 0.36\\$

Frequency of heterozygous rabbit (Ss)

$p^2 + q^2 + 2pq = 1\\0.16 + 0.36 + 2pq = 1\\2pq = 1 - 0.36-0.16\\2pq = 0.48$
