When the bread and butter is in mouth, mechanical digestion starts. The size of the food gets reduced and it mixes with saliva for easy swallowing. The salivary amylase in saliva begins the digestion of starch in the bread. This is the start of chemical digestion. When the undigested bread and butter reached the stomach, lower esophageal sphincter relaxes and allow the chewed food to enter. The gastric secretions containing HCl, acts on the undigested food to produce chime. HCl kill the microorganism on the food and also denatures the protein and later attacked by digestive enzyme pepsin. Pepsin breakdown protein in the bread, butter . Later on gastric lipase begins to digest fat present in butter. Digestion of the starch in bread does not occur in the stomach because the salivary amylase that began chemical digestion in mouth became inactive in the presence of HCl. Further the chime enters the small intestine where bile secreted by the gall bladder emulsifies the fat and break into small globule which helps in fat absorption.

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Molecular biology aims to study the processes that are carried out in living beings from a molecular point of view

Explanation:

-Genoma: A set of genes contained in chromosomes, can be interpreted as the totality of the genetic material that an organism or a species has

-Chromosome: Each of the highly organized structures, formed by DNA and proteins, and contains most of the genetic information of a living being

-Gen: Molecular unit of genetic inheritance, where genetic information is stored and can be transmitted to the offspring

- Replication fork: Joint between two strands of DNA when it is self-replicating. Each of the DNA strands serve as a template for the synthesis of the new DNA

-Okazaki fragment: Short strands of DNA newly synthesized in the discontinuous strand. They are synthesized in the 5 '→ 3' direction from RNA primers that are later eliminated

-Genotype: Genetic information that an organism has, in the form of DNA

-Fenotype: Expression of the genotype according to a specific environment. They include both physical and behavioral traits

-Codon: Three nucleotide sequence of DNA or RNA corresponding to a specific parameter

-Anticodon: Three nucleotide sequence complementary to a sequence of three other nucleotides found in messenger RNA

-Promotor: DNA section that controls the initiation of RNA transcription

-Intrón: Region of the DNA that is part of the primary transcription of RNA and are removed from the mature transcript, before its translation

-Exon: Portion of gene encoding amino acids

-The modified plasmid size from 1 to more than 1000 kilograms of bases

-The size of the bacterial genome ranges from 0.58 megabases to 10 Mb in several species of cyanobacteria, with the exception of Bacillus megaterium, which has a 30 Mb genome

-The size of the eukaryotic genome is very variable, for example, the smallest sequenced is that of Guillardia theta, of only 0.55 Mb, yeast (1.2 Mb) to amoeba (686,000 Mb).

-In the DNA, the purines are adenine (A) and guanine (G). The pyrimidines are thymine (T) and cytosine (C). In the case of RNA, the purines are A and G and the pyrimidines are C and U (uracil)

-Transcription involves the copy of DNA in RNA. This is the process of gene expression, in which genes are converted into proteins. DNA replication is the process of copying DNA into a cell so that there are two equal copies. As a result, two double chain propellers are obtained, two exact copies. Translation is the process of translating the sequence of a messenger RNA molecule into an amino acid sequence during protein synthesis.

-Helicase breaks the hydrogen bonds that bind the nitrogen bases, causing other enzymes to copy the DNA sequence. The primase synthesizes small fragments of RNA on the lagging chain in DNA replication, of about 10 nucleotides, called primers. DNA polymerase III performs the replicative process, its function is the synthesis of DNA. It has review activity, 3’-5 ’exonuclease. DNA polymerase I has three activities. It has polymerase activity, synthesis in the 5’-3 ’direction. A 3’5 ’exonuclease activity, erroneous nucleotide removal, and a 5’-3’ exonuclease activity, which from a nick resynthesizes a portion of DNA by removing the existing one. This enzyme does not carry out the replication process. RNA polymerase is capable of using ribonucleotides to synthesize RNA from a DNA sequence that serves as a template. Ligase catalyzes the binding of two molecules from the formation of covalent bonds accompanied by the hydrolysis of ATP

Thepotemich [5.8K]
Minor Malfunction: If the Excretory doesn't do it job, waste will begin to pile up in the body, ultimately leading to death.Improvement: If the respiratory cold take in more air, more blood would be transported to the brain. Which will make almost all senses feel sharper and will understand things more clearly.
