Eutrophication is the excessive richness of nutrients in water bodies where plant growth is at very dense level
The order of steps for the digestion of proteins will be;
In mechanical digestion, the teeth grind food and break it in to smaller parts.
Churning and the enzyme pepsin break down protein in the stomach
The pancreas releases enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin
Tryspsin and chymotrypsin act on the proteins to break them down in the duodenum
Amino acids are absorbed by the capillaries in the Jejunum and lastly
The amino acids enter the blood stream and are circulated throughout the body.
Answer:
D. DDT
Explanation:
DDT is highly persistent in the environment means that it break down very slowly in the environment. The half-life for DDT is from 2 to 15 years. Half-life is the time needed for the degradation of half of the compound. Persistent bio-accumulative toxic substances (PBTs) are chemicals that break down slowly in the environment and its accumulation in living organisms are toxic. Some PBTs are dispersed through air currents while some uses other environmental pathways, resulting in contamination of regions far from their points of origin.
Answer:
B. Proteins
Explanation:
Salivary amylase is an enzyme that starts the breakdown of starch in the mouth. Gastric glands of the stomach secrete gastric juice, which contains HCl to kill bacteria and denatures proteins, intrinsic factors, and the enzyme pepsin. The chief cells of gastric glands secrete pepsinogen (an inactive form of pepsin).
Pepsin begins the digestion of proteins in the stomach. It breaks down certain peptide bonds between amino acids and thereby, breaks down protein chain into smaller peptide fragments. Pepsin requires a very acidic environment of the stomach (pH 2) and becomes inactive at a higher pH.
