Protein is digested in the stomach when 3 main enzymes (pepsin, trypsin and chymotrypsin) break food protein into things called polypeptides, which are then broken down more into amino acids

Protein digestion will occur mainly in the upper part of the small intestine, where the duondenum and the jejunum are found, which are essential structures for the digestion of these molecules. In these structures, proteins will suffer the action of 4 enzymes produced by the pancreas. These enzymes are primarily responsible for the complete digestion of proteins. The enzymes are called trypsin, chymotrypsin, elastase and carboxypolipeptidase, they will break down proteins into amino acids that will be transported to the liver, or eliminated in the stool.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. the sun is the primary source of energy for ecosystems. the sun emits . when

galben [10]

The scientific law of one organism feeding off other where energy is transferred from one form to another is known as the law of conservation of energy.

<h3>How the sun is the primary source of energy for ecosystems?</h3>

Energy from the highest energy source that is sun is absorbed by plants to convert it into food (i.e a form of energy). plants are the only ones that can convert sunlight into another form of energy directly.

The animals and organisms that feed off of the plants take some part of this energy for their life cycles and then the animals that feed off of these animals again take some part of this energy and carry on with their life cycle, this is how energy from sun (highest source) is transferred to different organisms by Just changing form.

Thus, The scientific law of one organism feeding off other where energy is transferred.

Why is feedback inhibition important in metabolic pathways?

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

To balance the production of certain products.

Explanation:

Feedback inhibition is when byproduct from metabolic reactions in cells accumulates and is in excess. The product goes and inhibits the enzyme that is responsible for speeding its chemical reaction, balancing the amount of product needed, with the amount already produced.

Therefore feedback inhibition is important in metabolic pathways because it balances the production of amino acids and nucleotides. It is there to ensure that the exact amount needed is produced.

Define excretion and list the ecretory product of mammals and indicate where each product is formed

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Excretion is a process by which metabolic waste is eliminated from an organism. In vertebrates this is primarily carried out by the lungs, kidneys and skin. This is in contrast with secretion, where the substance may have specific tasks after leaving the cell. Excretion is an essential process in all forms of life.
