Answer:

The correct option is: b) may also be an opportunistic pathogen

Explanation:

Commensalism is a kind of symbiotic relationship between two different biological organisms. <u>In this interaction, one of the organism is benefited whereas the other organism is neither harmed nor benefited.</u>

The organism that gains benefits from the host is known as the commensal. The commensal may obtain benefits like shelter, nutrients, protection, and locomotion.

<u>However, the commensal bacteria can be an opportunistic pathogen.</u>

Opportunistic pathogens are the pathogens that can cause an infection or a disease if the host has a weak immune system.

Which of the following is NOT true about the absorption of fats?
babunello [35]

Answer:

The best choice from the answer options for the question: Which of the following is NOT true about absorption of fats, would be: C: The chylomicrons enter the blood in the villi capillaries.

Explanation:

Because of the characteristics of fatty acids, and fats in general, they are not able to either pass the intestinal enterocytes, and enter the bloodstream, as easily as glucose, or other molecules, can. Instead, they first must be passed into the enterocytes, the intenstines´ cells, by their combination with bile. Once inside the intestine, the enterocytes take up the fats and combines them with lipoproteins and cholesterol in order to create the chylomicrons. But before these chylomicrons can make their way to the blood, first they must be taken up by the lymphatic vessels present in the villus of the intestinal epithelium, not the blood capillaries. It will be the lymphatic system which will be reponsible for passing the fats to the bloodstream, who will then distribute them to the appropriate cells in the body as energy is required. Or they will be taken for storage by the liver.
