Answer: By the help of the fluid delivered from the pancreas.

Explanation:

The human body is a very complex system consisting of many organ and organ system.

One of those systems is the the digestive system. By the help of this system the digestion and absorption of food takes place.

There are numerous number of enzymes involved in the digestion of the food released by various organs. The pancreatic and intestinal enzymes are secreted that work at alkaline pH, but the chyme that is secreted from the deodenum is slightly acidic yet they work together.

This is because pancreas pour enzyme into small intestine which is alkaline  and it then secretes huge amount of sodium bicarbonate which neutralizes the acidity of the stomach and makes the pH optimum for the digestion of food.

Why are single-stranded binding proteins necessary for DNA replication?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

d.They prevent the two parental strands from coming together again.

Explanation:

During the process of DNA replication, the two DNA strands should be separated from each other to serve as a template. To separate the two DNA strands, the helicase enzyme breaks down the hydrogen bonds between the complementary base pairs of the DNA strands. The process uses ATP as a source of energy.

Due to the presence of complementary base pairs, the separated DNA strands have a tendency to reanneal by the formation of hydrogen bonds. To prevent the reannealing of separated DNA strands, single stranded binding proteins bind to them. Binding to single stranded binding proteins to the separated DNA strands does not allow them to reanneal.

Alexus [3.1K]
In this case, the patient has to be moved into an isolated room or into a private room. Vancomycin resistant-enterococci are said to develop a resistance against vancomycin. Enterococci normally live in our skins and intestines as normal flora, therefore it does not cause any problems. In patients who are immunocompromised, they are more likely to be affected by these organisms which commonly infect the intestines, urinary tract infection and wounds. These bacteria are said the be difficult to treat with since there are lesser antibiotics who have greater strength compared to vancomycin.
