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!

1. In a pedigree, a square represents a male. If it is darkened he has hemophilia; if clear, he had normal blood
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

a, 8

b, 3

Explanation:

If the pedigree you are referring to is the one that is attached then the answer would be:

A pedigree shows how a trait is passed on throughout generations. Like it says in the question, the squares represent males. If the square isn't shaded in, then that means they are unaffected by the trait or normal. If it is shaded, they are affected.

All you need to do for the first question is count the number of squares you see in the whole pedigree. In this case, there are 8.

The second one is asking how many are affected, or have hemophilia. You need to count the number of squares that are shaded in. In the pedigree, we see 3.

A virus is combined with a host cell in molten nutrient agar and then poured over a sterile nutrient agar plate. After the agar
maria [59]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. The virus can infect the host.

Explanation:

  • As the host and the virus both remain in the agar plate, the virus is capable of infecting the host cells.
  • The host cell multiplies and grows by utilising the nutrient from the agar medium.
  • After the virus particles infect the host, they replicate inside the host and produce new progeny virions which get released out of the host cell by killing it.
  • The newly formed virions infect other host cells and the process continues.
  • The killing of the host cells by the viruses result in the generation of clear zones on the agar plate which is also known as the zone of exclusion.
  • In the zone of exclusion region, the host cells have been killed by the viruses.
