Answer:

Explanation:

Glucose is a sugar, highly soluble in water because it has lots of polar hydroxyl groups (-OH) which can form hydrogen-bonds with water molecules. These types of bonds are intermolecular forces which are present in other macromolecules like the DNA or proteins.

Cholesterol and triglycerids are lipids. These have long chains of hydrocarbons, which are non polar and therefore insoluble in water.

Blood is made of a solid and a liquid part. <u>The solid part contains cells</u>. <u>The liquid part (plasma), is made of water, salts, and proteins</u>. Glucose and cholesterol/triglycerids travel in the liquid part of the blood, in an aqueous environment. Because the lipids are not soluble, they need to travel with a carrier protein that keeps them protected from the surrounding water.

A motor neuron is a neuron which consists of a cell body and axon. Cell body lies in the motor cortex, spinal cord or brainstem and axon projects outside the spinal cord or inside the spinal cord which directly or indirectly controls the function of muscles or glands.

True or false? The liver is a component of the alimentary canal.

Oksanka [162]

<h2>False </h2>

Explanation:

Alimentary canal components include mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine whereas liver is a component of the accessory digestive system

The liver is a large organ that is located in the upper right portion of abdomen, beneath the diaphragm
The liver has two large sections, called the right and the left lobes and the gallbladder sits under the liver, along with parts of the pancreas and intestines
The liver and these organs work together to digest, absorb, and process food
The liver's main role is to filter the blood coming from the digestive tract, before passing it to the rest of the body
The liver also detoxifies chemicals and metabolizes drugs
The liver secretes bile that ends up back in the intestines and also makes proteins important for blood clotting and other functions
