Complex nutrients are digested and then absorbed into the bloodstream as monomers.

Nutrients from food can be used in the body only when are broken down to their basic units: carbohydrates in monosaccharaides, lipids in free fatty acids, proteins in amino acids and nucleic acids in nucleotides.

Those molecules together with water and minerals from the diet, are absorbed in the small intestine. The absorbed molecules are then transported into the bloodstream and carried to different parts of the body for usage, storage or chemical transformation. Some of the macromolecules are broken down in mouth (e.g. starch), or in stomach by the enzymes.

<span>The correct answer is A. atoms. Atoms are studied by physics and chemistry, not by ecology. Ecology studies organisms, populations, and the earth in terms of climate, pollution prevention, natural habitats and biomes, and all kinds of similar things that are related to living on earth. Atoms are irrelevant for the study of ecology.</span>

The majority of triglyceride digestion occurs in the small intestine facilitated by the enzyme
bixtya [17]

Answer:

pancreatic lipase

Explanation:

Enzymes from pancreas involved in triacylglycerol digestion are called pancreatic lipases and they catalyze the partial hydrolysis of triglycerides into a mixture of free fatty acids and acylglycerols. After digestion of lipids, monoglycerides and fatty acids associate with bile salts and phopholipids to form micelles. Micelles are structures that are necessary for the transport the poorly soluble monoglycerides and fatty acids to the surface of the enterocyte. But, micelles cannot be absorbed by epithelial cell, only freely dissolved monoglycerides and fatty acids can. Free fatty acids and monogycerids can just diffuse across the plasma membrane because of their nonpolar nature.

 Some absorption (e.g. for cholesterol) may be facilitated by specific transport proteins.

Leto [7]

Answer:

cell walls, vacuoles, chloroplasts, centriole

Explanation:

Plant cells have cell walls, one large vacuole per cell, and chloroplasts, while animal cells will have a cell membrane only and several smaller vacuoles. Animal cells also have a centriole, which is not found in most plant cells.

Henry was studying two populations of the same species of lizards. One population lived on an island and the other lived on the
Llana [10]

the island is a small specie of lizards so if the mainland specie was a large population it would have been the one to be affected by an increase instead of a decrease. The genetic drift was caused by not having enough of the same kind to keep the heredity going, most likely the largest population is the one that had enough of the same heredity to keep the population of lizards going. In a way the hurricane with the force on both species caused a genetic drift but increased a larger population for a year later.
