The common bile duct and the main pancreatic duct share a common opening into the duodenum, which is controlled by a sphincter.

When a gallstone forms, sometimes it moves down and gets lodged in this sphincter. As a result, secretions from the gallbladder and pancreas are blocked from entering the lumen of the duodenum. What results do you predict, specifically caused by the absence of these blocked secretions? Select all that apply. (Assume there is NO accessory pancreatic duct, as is the case for most people.)
A. Bicarbonate from the pancreas would be blocked, so the lumen in the duodenum would be a little more alkaline than normal when processing a meal.
B. Bicarbonate from the pancreas would be blocked, so the lumen in the duodenum would be a little more acidic than normal when processing a meal.
C. Enzymes would be blocked, so some foods would not be adequately digested.
D. Glucagon would be blocked, so the ability to regulate blood glucose would be reduced.
E. Insulin would be blocked, so the ability to regulate blood glucose would be reduced.
F. Bile would be blocked, so the ability to digest proteins would be reduced.
G. Bile would be blocked, so the ability to digest fats would be reduced.

Answer:

The correct answers are options B, C and G.

Explanation:

The digestive juices discharged from the bile duct and the pancreas takes part in the dissociation of proteins and sugars along with the emulsification of fats. Pancreas also discharge highly alkaline bicarbonate juices that elevate the pH of the duodenum. Therefore, in the absence of both of these, there will be an obstruction in the digestion of food and the pH of the duodenum will become highly acidic.  

In addition to this, the bile juice also comprises bile salts, biliverdin, and bilirubin that plays an essential part in the emulsification of fats and their subsequent digestion.

When the protein gramicidin is integrated into a membrane, an H+ channel forms and the membrane becomes very permeable to proton
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The electron transport chain may be defined as the sequential steps of the oxidation and reduction of the cytochromes. The electron transport chain is important for the production of ATP.

The gramicidn protein is an ionophoric antibiotic that can affect the electron transport system. The electron transport rate, oxygen uptake and proton pumping remains the same as more hydrogen ions will enter in the cell.  But the ATP synthesis rate might decrease and completely stop by using gramicidin.

Answer:

A choosing to burn coal to generate electricity

Explanation:

Neither nuclear energy nor alternative sources such as wind and solar seem likely to meet the demand for electricity. ... Of all fossil fuels, coal puts out the most carbon dioxide per unit of energy, so burning it poses a further threat to global climate, already warming alarmingly.
