Carb digestion happens first in the mouth by amylase. then stomach, pancreas, small intestine, large intestine

For carbohydrates, it would be chemically digested (digestions that involves enzymes) in 2 locations, the oral cavity, and the duodenum (small intestine).

In the oral cavity, salivary amylase is secreted by salivary glands. It can turn starch (large carbs) into Maltose (a smaller sugar molecule).

And in the duodenum, intestinal amylase and carbohydrase is produced, and specifically carbohydrase can break Maltose into glucose, which is the final form of carbs our body requires.

They're then absorbed in the ileum, a lower part of small intestine.

The answer is A. And here's why.

First the lactase must attach itself to the lactose molecule, upon doing that it hydrolyges it into glucose and galactose.

Using the images or terms, describe how parts of a cell interact to export proteins.

tino4ka555 [31]

A protein is a large sequence of amino acid that was translated in ribosomes (or rough endoplasmic reticulum) from a mRNA that was transcribed in the nucleus from DNA.
If the protein has an extracellular function (like immunoglobulin) if should be exocytosed from the cell.
The protein in the cell is driven to the membrane into vesicles that have a specific receptor, which allows, while in contact with the inner side of the cell membrane to open it and let the protein being transported in the extracellular medium.

Answer:

Synapse.

Explanation:

Neurons have dendrites, cell body and axons. Millions of neurons are present in the nervous system. Different types of neuron are sensory neuron, motor neuron and interneuron.

Synapse may be defined as the gap between the two consecutive neurons. The junction between the two neurons that helps in the intercellular communication. The neurotransmitters are diffused directly and transmit information through these synapse.

Thus, the correct answer is synapse.
