Answer:

The GIT mucus lining of the GIT serve as a physical barrier to the movement of digested food substances.

The mucus also help to prevent inflammation of the bowels; by reducing  or suppressing immune response to inflammation.

In Cystic fibrosis, the blockage of the ducts by the mucus, prevents enzymes from reaching the digestive  food substances,. The resulting undigested food substances leads to bloating, pain, cramps, gas, smelly belch, constipation, and smelly stools.

stellarik [79]

Answer:

  1. Glycine
  2. Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate
  3. 3-phosphoglycerate
  4. Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.
  5. Glucose
  6. Sucrose

Explanation:

The glycine, among other amino acids, helps to improve chlorophyll production and promotes the process of photosynthesis.  

<u>Calvin cycle</u>

During the carbon fixation phase, a CO² molecule combinate with a ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate to form 6-carbonated molecules, which will divide into two 3-phosphoglycerate molecules.  

During the reduction phase, NADPH donates its electrons to reduce 3-phosphoglycerate molecules, and turn them into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.

During the regeneration phase, a glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate molecule leaves the cycle and goes to the cytosol to form glucose. This step can be done when three CO² enter the cycle and produce six glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate molecules. One of them leaves the cycle to form glucose, while the other five are recycled.

<u>Cytosol: </u>

Once in the cytosol, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate molecules are used to form glucose and fructose. These two molecules are the monosaccharides that form the sucrose.

Once sucrose is formed, it is transported from the photosynthetic tissues to different parts of the plant by the phloem.
