Lipids are not enzymes, or to put it in another way enzymes are protein in nature and not lipids, nucleic acids or carbohydrates. Enzymes are defined as organic substances which speed up biochemical reactions but they remain exactly the way they were before and after the reaction, that is they are not changed, before, during and after the reaction.

Enzymes are a special kind of protein and they exhibit protein characteristics. One of the main characteristics is that they are affected by extreme pH and temperature. When exposed to such, they get denatured. Protein is the only macromolecule that gets denatured and become inactive or damaged permanently

Enzymes work best within a narrow pH and temperature range specific to each enzyme, outside of which they are rendered inactive.

What kind of variation is exhibited by human bloods?

kotykmax [81]

<span>Blood provides an ideal opportunity for the study of human variation without cultural prejudice. It can be easily classified for many different genetically inherited blood typing systems. Also significant is the fact that we rarely take blood types into consideration in selecting mates. In addition, few people know their own type today and no one did prior to 1900. As a result, differences in blood type frequencies around the world are most likely due to other factors than social discrimination. Contemporary Japan is somewhat of an exception since there are popular Japanese stereotypes about people with different blood types. This could affect choice in marriage partners for some Japanese. </span>All human populations share the same 29 known blood systems, although they differ in the frequencies of specific types. Given the evolutionary closeness of apes and monkeys to our species, it is not surprising that some of them share a number of blood typing systems with us as well. When we donate blood or have surgery, a small sample is usually taken in advance for at least ABO and Rh systems typing. If you are O+, the O is your ABO type and the + is your Rh type. It is possible to be A, B, AB, or O as well as Rh+ or Rh- You inherited your blood types from your parents and the environment in which you live cannot change them. I took it from a website: http://anthro.palomar.edu/vary/vary_3.htm

After absorption, long-chain fatty acids and monoglycerides inside intestinal cells are

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

After absorption, long-chain fatty acids and monoglycerides inside intestinal cells are reformed into triglycerides.

<h3>Where are long chain triglycerides absorbed?</h3>

As previously mentioned, MCTs do not delay gastric emptying and are absorbed faster in the intestine than MCTs, being transported via blood to the liver.

In this case, long-chain triglycerides are oils or fats of vegetable or animal origin, and are obtained from the reaction between a fatty acid and glycerol.
