Answer:

Catabolism is method by which large complex molecules like lipids, proteins and carbohydrates are broken down into the simpler smaller molecules.

Protease or peptidase are the enzymes that catalyzes the breakdown of proteins into amino acids or smaller polypeptide units. The protease enzyme pepsin is secreted in the stomach; and trypsin and chymotrypsin is secreted in the pancreas.

Amylases are the enzymes that breaks down the complex carbohydrates to simple sugars. The enzyme salivary amylase is secreted by the salivary gland in mouth and the enzyme pancreatic amylase is secreted by pancreas.

Lipases are the enzymes that catalyzes the breakdown of lipids or fats. Lipases are secreted in the mouth, stomach, and pancreas.

Explanation:

Sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) are transcription factors attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. The NH2-segment, which activates transcription, is connected to membranes by a hairpin anchor formed by two transmembrane sequences and a short lumenal loop. Using H-Ras–SREBP-2 fusion proteins, we show that the NH2-segment is released from membranes by two sequential cleavages. The first, regulated by sterols, occurs in the lumenal loop. The second, not regulated by sterols, occurs within the first transmembrane domain. The liberated NH2-segment enters the nucleus and activates genes controlling cholesterol synthesis and uptake. Certain mutant Chinese hamster ovary cells are auxotrophic for cholesterol because they fail to carry out the second cleavage; the NH2-segment remains membrane-bound and transcription is not activated.

Answer:

That's not actually accurate!

Explanation:

Although not taking the full regimen may reduce the effectiveness of chemical combination that is supposed to kill the bacteria not "cause more problems", In general, antibiotics have proven to be helpful for maintaining a healthy/comfortable body.

For example, one's ear may begin to itch as a result of an ear infection, but by taking antibiotics the infection can be killed. Or it may even be a skin or dental infection, etc which in most cases are treated by antibiotics.
