Answer:
            
            "Absorption is the process in which digested food molecules move from                the wall of samll intestine into blood or lymph"

Explanation:

                     Small intestine is composed of three main regions:

1. Duodenum:

                    It is the first part of samll intestine where acidic chyme from stomach enter and become alkaline due to mixing with bile and pancreatic juice. Chemical digestion of carbohydrate, protein and fats is completed here.

2. Jejunum:

                Jejunum is the site where about 90% of absorption of digested food takes place. It is lined with small hair like projection called villi and micro-villi. these villi are lined with blood vessels  (capillaries as shown in the figure) and lymph. After absorption of small peptides, amino acids, glucose and fructose, they reach to blood capillaries inside villi and micro villi. From here digested food particles are transported to liver and other parts where they are needed. 

3. Ileum:
             
          It is the last and longest part of small intestine about 12 feet long. <span>ileum contains receptors for absorption of vitamin B12 and bile salts.</span>

In the term trace element, the adjective trace means that
Margarita [4]

Answer:

The elemental is required in very small amount. (Ans. A)

Explanation:

Trace element is also known as micro-nutrient. It is also defined as any chemical element required by living organisms in a minute or small amounts which is usually part of the vital enzyme (cells produced by catalytic protein).

Exact needs of trace elements vary among species, like commonly required plant trace elements are cooper, zinc, manganese, boron, and molybdenum. Animals commonly required iodine, manganese, and cobalt.

Absence of necessary plant trace elements required by plants in the soil causes deficiency disease, lack of animal trace elements used by animals in the soil may not harm plants, but, animals feeding on those plants develop their deficiency disease.

So, the adjective trace means that the elemental is required in a very small amount.

I need to know the hypothesized enzyme
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Hypotheis:

<em>If high amounts of product in the samples, '+++' , correlates with optimal temperatures and pH for enzyme activity, then...</em>

  • <u>A- Pepsin</u>
  • <u>B- Amylase </u>
  • <u> C- thermophilic enzyme</u>

Explanation:

Enzymes are specialized proteins that function as biological catalysts- <u>they speed up chemical reactions.</u> As proteins, these are susceptible to changes in temperature and pH- they function best at optimal values for both conditions, but can be denatured, rendering them inactive at relative extremes.

Each enzyme provided has its own optimal temperature and pH values.

  • Thermophilic enzymes are usually found in regions characterized by high temperatures. They show high thermostability, and do not become denatured at high temperatures- they thrive, and do not function well at lower temperatures.
  • Amylase is a hydrolase digestive enzyme found in the mouth, that acts on polysaccharides like starch to break 1,4  glycosidic bonds between glucose molecules. It works best at a physiological (neutral) pH and temperatures (around 37°)
  • Pepsin, another digestive enzyme, is a peptidase that breaks down proteins into peptide molecules. It is found in the stomach lining, where the pH  is typically low i.e. acidic due to the hydrochloric acid in digestive juices.

Thus from the table A- pepsin, B- Amylase and C- thermophilic enzyme can be hypothesized.
