Starch being broken down into sugar in the body is Reaction

Biology
1 answer:
mars1129 [50]3 years ago
6 0
The question can be viewed as what type of  chemical reaction results in the break down of starch into smaller subunits known as glucose. This process is called hydrolysis. Hydrolysis is a reaction whereby a water molecule is inserted between a disaccharide, causing the glycoside bond that connects the two sugars to break and two monosaccharide molecules to be produced. Starch is a long chain of glucose molecules joined one to the next. Hydrolysis helps to break the chemical bonds that hold the glucose molecules together. Of course, this works because specific enzymes are needed to facilitate this reaction. Starch enzymes are found in both the oral cavity and the small intestine. Once starch is digested, the glucose can be transported via the bloodstream and enter the cells via facilitated diffusion where it can be used for energy.

Ecology and evolution are closely related, as are evolution and genetics. All have an impact on the world around us.
PtichkaEL [24]

Ecology is the science that studies the interaction between living beings and the environment in which they live.

<h3>How can I help with conservation?</h3>

  1. Buy recycled paper avoiding the death of more trees
  2. Have a recycling bin for paper, plastic, metal and glass, to reduce the environmental damage in waste and for the waste to be reused
  3. Recycle toner and ink cartridges from empty printers, to avoid polluting rivers and streams.
  4. If possible buy remanufactured cartridges, avoiding environmental impact
  5. Recycle old newspapers, avoiding the death of more trees.

<h3>What is the evidence for evolution?</h3>

  1. Anatomy. Species may share similar physical features because those features were present in a common ancestor (homologous structures).
  2. Molecular biology. DNA and genetic code reflect the common ancestry of life

With this information, we can conclude that Ecology is concerned with the living beings on the planet and their relationships with each other and with the environment.

How would the body most likely respond to the condition illustrated
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

A) Faster blood flow: A faster blood flow means the heart pumps blood with more power. Pumping blood to fast for too long can damage the heart muscle and interfere with its normal electrical signals, which can result in a dangerous heart rhythm disorder.

B) Infection: infection is caused by invasion of the body by external microorganisms. Disease can arise if the host's protective immune mechanisms are compromised and the organism inflicts damage on the host.

C) vomiting: This is an involuntary, forced expulsion of stomach contents usually through the mouth or nose. Body's reaction can be aspiration, electrolyte and water loss, damage to the enamel of the teeth, tear of the esophageal mucosa etc.

D) High blood pressure: This is due to the heart pumping blood at high pressure putting a strain on the walls of the blood vessels. In some cases, people with high blood pressure may have a pounding feeling in their head or chest, a feeling of lightheadedness or dizziness, or other signs.

"1. which organelles work together to transfer energy (from solar to glucose to atp?
Lyrx [107]
The answer is chloroplasts and mitochondria.

<span>When solar energy in the form of sunlight reaches a leaf of a plant, it passes through the leaf to chloroplasts. Chloroplasts contain pigment chlorophyll which is excited by light. As the result, </span>a series of chemical reactions occur in the chloroplasts and carbon dioxide and water are converted into glucose and oxygen. Now, glucose is broken down and transported into mitochondria where through different processes (Krebs cycle and electron transport chain) energy is produced in the form of ATP.<span>
