Answer:

Lipid emulsification.

Explanation:

Lipid emulsification generally defined as the spread of one form of liquid into second immiscible form of liquid with hydrophobic, or electrostatic, or hydrogen bonding interaction.

The above scenario is about lipid emulsification in which bile salts travels through bile duct along with chyme where these bind with their hydrophobic region to the big fat globules and then break up them into smaller fat droplets and then enter into the duodenum.

Answer:

This role of bile salts is best described as an aid in the absorption of fat droplets in the bowel cells as well as a breaker of large fat globules found in food, into small droplets of fat which make digestive enzymes in thr pancreas process and breakdown the fat droplets.

Explanation:

When lipids are emulsified, it means large lipid globules are broken down into small lipid globules. Fat globules are then emulsified into small droplets of bile salts which are contained in the bile, that happens during the digestion of food. Bile salts have properties resembling detergent properties which makes them emulsify globules of fat into emulsion droplets and into small micelles.

Explain how random mutations such as those in pathogens with a mutator phenotype may arise in the DNA of an organism
Arada [10]

Answer:

A mutation is a change that occurs in our DNA sequence, either due to mistakes when the DNA is copied or as the result of environmental factors such as UV light and cigarette smoke. Mutations can occur during DNA replication if errors are made and not corrected in time.

Glia that provide myelin for neurons in the brain are called ________.
kati45 [8]

Answer:

oligodendrocytes

Explanation:

Glial cells are part of the nervous system. These are helper cells that support the function of the central nervous system (CNS) and can be called oligodendrocytes when they supply myelin to neurons.  These cells are responsible for producing the myelin sheath have the function of electrical insulator for CNS neurons. They have extensions that wrap around the axons, producing the myelin sheath.

It is estimated that there are 10 glia cells in the CNS for each neuron, but because of their small size, they occupy half the volume of nervous tissue. They differ in form and function and they are: oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, Schwann cells, ependymal cells, and microglia.

Lactose when digested, it is hydrolyzed by lactase into its monomers, which are then absorbed by blood. Following are test resul
kap26 [50]

Answer: Based on the information, the person DOES NOT have lactose intolerance because glucose levels significantly increases in normal individuals after a lactose rich meal.

Explanation:

Lactose is a disaccharide carbohydrate which when taken (found mostly in diary products) is hydrolyzed by lactase into its monomers, which are then absorbed into the blood. The hydrolysis of lactose gives glucose and galactose which is carried out by the digestive enzyme lactase. Deficiency of the lactase enzyme gives rise to a disorder known as LACTOSE INTOLERANCE.

The diagnosis of lactose intolerance or lactase deficiency can be confirmed by measuring the plasma glucose concentrations, as in glucose tolerance test, after giving an oral load of lactose rich solution. If the disaccharide (lactose) cannot be hydrolysed, the constituent monosaccharides cannot be absorbed and the concentrations of plasma glucose rise VERY little.

But the fasting blood glucose done after 2 hours of drinking a lactose rich solution showed a typical rise in blood glucose levels which were 80, 90, 100, 110 and 120 mg/ dL tested for every 30 minutes. This indicates that the individual does not have lactose intolerance because the glucose gotten from hydrolysed lactose was absorbed and cause a significant rise in blood levels.
