Compared to other types of rock layers, an aquifer is highly porous and permeable.

Aquifers are always the target when prospecting for ground water in a formation.

  • Porosity is the amount of void spaces in a rock.
  • Aquifers are highly porous .
  • Permeability is the inter-connectivity of the void spaces and their ability to transmit fluids.

Verizon [17]

Answer:

break them down to monosaccharides

Carbohydrates are easily hydrolysed to provide energy when the body requires it.

What is the fate of amino acids released after protein digestion or turnover.
olasank [31]

Explanation:

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are digested in the gastrointestinal tract into peptides,polypeptides and single amino acids using hydrochloric acid and proteases. After protein digestion amino acids are absorbed by the jejunum in the small intestines and taken up by capillaries to the blood stream. They then travel in the blood to the liver, joins the urea cycle where they are metabolised for cell growth and tissue repairs.
