So the breakdown of lipids actually starts in the mouth. Your saliva has this little enzyme called lingual lipase, which breaks down these fats into something called diglycerides. These diglycyerides then make there way to the intestines, where they stimulate the pancreas to release lipase (another fat breaking enzyme!) and the pancreas to release bile. The bile and pancreatic juices both work together to break these diglycerides into fatty acids. It’s helpful to know some of the root words. Glycerol- the framework to which the fatty acids stick. Glyceride- think of this guy as several fatty acids stuck to a glycerol. Lipids- think fats, and their derivatives (our glyceride friends.) tri/di/mono- these are just number prefixes! Lipids are one glycerol molecule, and then either one, two, or three fatty acids attached, which is where you get mono(1)/di(2)/tri(3)glyceride from. I know this was long, but hopefully it helps!

Recovery from the 2008-2009 recession was agonizingly slow. what factors might have constrained faster growth?
Ann [662]
<span>Recovery from the 2008-2009 recession was agonizingly slow due to the following factors:
</span>

1. The recession had an impact on most of the industrialized West, not only the United States. As the recession spread to Europe, the United States's biggest market, it had a 360 degree impact on America's exports as well.


2. The US was spending a lot on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. While this was theoretically supporting millions of jobs in the war industry, for the average person, there was no benefit. Billions that could have been used to help people, were used elsewhere.

3. Rising debt was also a problem. The recession opened up the hidden truth behind America's prosperity, the debt problem. Most people and institutions were spending war more than what they had and when the debt started to mount up, there was very little flexibility left.

4. We also have to admit that the response for the recession was too late. Firstly, the government should not have let a recession happen. However, once it did, they waited for Lehman brothers to completely fail before taking concrete actions.

If two intermediate-colored chickens together produced 100 chicks, how many would you expect to be black?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: 25 of the chicks will be black

Explanation: Since the chickens are intermediate in colour, that is they are not black, they are heterozygous. Let B represent the allele for black colour and B represent the allele for blue colour, therefore the genotype of a chicken with an intermediate colour is Bb. A cross between two Bb chicken will produce 1 BB, 2 Bb and 1 bb chicks. 1 BB will manifest outwardly as black, 2Bb will manifest outwardly as intermediate colored while 1 bb will manifest outwardly as blue colored chicks.

Since one out of four chicks are black colored, if the two chicken produced 100 chicks, the number of chicks that will be black is 1/4 x 100 = 25. Therefore, 25 chicks out of 100 will be black.
