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.

Answer:

Stimulus is something that causes a reaction, especially interest, excitement or energy. An example of stimulus is a shiny object for a baby. An example of stimulus is an influx of cash into the economy that is designed to help the economy to gain momentum or energy.

Explanation:

in physiology, a stimulus (plural stimuli or stimuluses) is a detectable change in the physical or chemical structure of an organism's internal or external environment. The ability of an organism or organ to detect external stimuli, so that an appropriate reaction can be made, is called sensitivity.

A population of fruit flies where wing shape is determined by one pair
AVprozaik [17]

The value of 2pg in the given population is 0.432

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

C is normal

c is curly wings

So the homozygous dominant condition would be CC

Heterozygous condition would be Cc

Recessive condition would be cc

According to Hardy Weinberg principle,

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

and

p + q = 1

Here,

q² = cc = 100

q² = 100 / 1000

q = √0.1

q = 0.316

So,

p + q = 1

p + 0.316 = 1

p = 0.684

Thus, 2pq would be:

= 2 X (0.684) X (0.316)\\\\= 0.432

Therefore, the value of 2pg in the given population is 0.432

What term is used to describe dna that has been produced by cutting and pasting together pieces of dna from two different organi
Ad libitum [116K]
I believe: 

Restriction Enzymes, and DNA Ligase


These enzymes cut n paste DNA, to produce a molecule of recombinant DNA, such as the red fluorescent gene used in ABE. These enzymes are used in the first step of DNA Cloning.

Hope this helps!!!!!

Irina-Kira [14]
The example of a biotic factor is the shrimp population in a bay. Biotic factors are living factors that affect organisms in an ecosystem. The biotic factors includes the producers or autotrophs, consumers or heterotrophs, and decomposer. Abiotic factors on the other hand are the non-living factors that influence an ecosystem; they include, sunlight, soil, humidity, etc
