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.

olga55 [171]

Answer:

Cellulose is held by beta 1,4-glycosidic bonds making it linear while Glycogen is held by an alpha 1,4-glycosidic bond making it highly branched.

Explanation:

Cellulose and Glycogen are both carbohydrate polysaccharides formed from glucose monomers. According to the question, cellulose is a tough, fibrous, and insoluble (in water) polymer found to play a structural role in plants' cell wall while Glycogen is another polymer obtained from muscle or liver and disperses readily in hot water to make a turbid solution.

Although these two polysaccharides (cellulose and glycogen) are linked by (1, 4)-glycosidic bonds but the glucose monomers in CELLULOSE are linked by a beta 1,4-glycosidic, hence, making it a straight or linear polymer

GLYCOGEN, on the other hand, is linked by an alpha 1,4-glycosidic bond making it an highly branched polymer. This structure is responsible for the different physical properties of the two molecules.

Answer:

A. Adaptation

Explanation:

Adaptation refers to the evolutionary process in which organisms undergo mutation or genetic change over many generations, which makes the organisms become better suited to multiply and survive in its habitat. The genetic mutation of Daphnia which makes them develop a trait that makes subsequent generations to prefer warmer environments is an example of adaptation of the organism to his environment.

Answer:

Students who take a PE class and who will be eating sugary snacks before PE.

Explanation:

The control variable (or control group) is an experimental element which is constant or unchanged throughout the course of the experiment.

The option "students who take PE class and who will be eating sugary snacks before PE" will remain unchanged and constant because the whole point of the experiment is to see the effects on students performance in PE after eating sugary snacks.

Hope this helps :)

A woman who is a varsity soccer player has a bmi of 26, a waist circumference of 32, and 23percent body fat. what would you say

Dafna1 [17]

I would say about her body composition is that she is within recommendations for waist circumference and percent body fat. She has a normal BMI or Body Mass Index, she has a good body composition because she is a varsity player and she is exercising her body well. So the answer in this question is she is within recommendation for waist circumference and percent body fat.
