How are proteins absorbed in the digestive system?

Biology
1 answer:
erik [133]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

They are broken down first.

Explanation:

Proteins are too big to be directly absorbed through the cell membrane. Digestive enzymes break them down into amino acids, which are small compounds that make the protein structure. They can be taken into the cell through the membrane.

Is money more important than intellect?​
iogann1982 [59]

(Think you mean intelligence)

I think, intelligence is slightly more important than money. It's so because if you have intelligence, you can very well earn a lot of money. You can make use of your brains and find out smart ways of having more income. On the other hand, money can't fetch you brains.

When a pigment molecule in a light-harvesting complex absorbs a photon of light, what happens to its excited-state electron?.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

When a pigment molecule in a light-harvesting complex absorbs a photon of light, While returning to its ground state, the electron transfers some of the energy from its excited state to an electron in a nearby pigment molecule.

  • It takes a photon of light energy some distance before it reaches a pigment molecule like chlorophyll.
  • An electron in the chlorophyll is "activated" by the photon. The energy imparted to the electron then moves from one pigment molecule to another until it reaches the reaction center, a pair of chlorophyll a molecules.
  • An electron in the reaction center is then excited by this energy, causing it to break loose and travel to the primary electron acceptor.
  • Therefore, it is said that the reaction center "donates" one electron to the main electron acceptor.

What do fats, steroids, and waxes have in common? What do fats, steroids, and waxes have in common? (a) Moderate polarity. (b) L
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Both (b) and (c)

Explanation:

Fats, steroids and waxes are some of the most common types of lipids. Lipids are non-polar hydrocarbons because of the presence of non-polar carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds in there structure.

Generally, polar molecules are soluble in water while non-polar molecules are insoluble in water, hence, lipids do not dissolve in water. There non-polarity also makes them a suitable component in the selectively permeable biological cell membrane.

Elephants are considered K-strategists because they give birth to only one calf at a time and most have five years in between ha
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Type I curve

Explanation:

The K-strategist are species characterized by relatively stable populations that fluctuate at the carrying capacity of the habitat or niche in which organisms reside. Elephants are considered as K-strategists because they have a low population growth rate and relatively stable populations. There are three different types of survivorship curves. The Type I curve (also referred to as A curve) is characteristic of k-strategist organisms. Humans and elephants exhibit a Type I survivorship curve in which organisms tend to die when they become elderly. These species have a small number of offspring and provide parental care to ensure their survival. In a Type II survivorship curve, species produce many offspring and only some offspring survive (e.g., birds), while in Type III survivorship curve organisms produce many more offspring and most do not survive (i.e., r-strategists such as frogs or insects).
