Answer:

Herd immunity

Explanation:

Herd immunity refers to the resistance of a group of people against infection and the spread of a pathogen. It occurs when a high proportion of the members of that group are resistant against a particular pathogenic infection. When an earlier exposure or vaccination of a large proportion of individuals of a population does not allow the pathogen to spread among and infect the otherwise susceptible members of the population, the population is said to have acquired the herd immunity.

In the given example, vaccination of a large percentage of a population protected the susceptible individuals against a particular microbe. This represents an example of herd immunity.

Emulsion of fatty acids is necessary to _____.
kap26 [50]

Answer:

c. increase the surface area available for hydrolysis by lipase

Explanation:

Emulsification of fats(fatty acid) is a chemical reaction where large molecules(globules) of fats are broken down into a smaller molecules (droplets) by the action of an emulsifier.

In the human body, emulsification takes places in the duodenum during the process of digestion of fats. When large fat molecules have been broken down into smaller fat molecules by action of an emulsifier called bile salts from the gall bladder, a larger surface area is created which makes it possible for the enzyme lipase from the pancreas to react with or act on fat molecules through the process of hydrolysis thereby converting the fats to fatty acids and glycerol for use by the body.
