Describe the passage of a meal containing bread through your digestive system

Biology
1 answer:
Alex777 [14]2 years ago
7 0

Before your food passes from the mouth and down your esophagus, salivary amylase, an enzyme in saliva, begins to digest the starch in your bread. That is the start of chemical digestion. ... The passage of the bolus through the esophagus to the stomach occurs by peristalsis, a series of wave-like muscle contractions.

Enzymes in your gastrointestinal tract digest your lunch. these chemical reactions are categorized as:________
BigorU [14]

Enzymes in your gastrointestinal tract digest your lunch. these chemical reactions are categorized as catabolism.

<h3>What is catabolism?</h3>

The series of metabolic processes known as catabolism reduces molecules into smaller pieces that are then either oxidized to produce energy or utilised in other anabolic processes. Large compounds are divided into smaller components through catabolism.

<h3>What is a prime illustration of catabolism?</h3>

Catabolism happens as you are breaking down food. For instance, a piece of bread is broken down into simple components your body may absorb, such glucose, through this process (blood sugar).

<h3>What is difference between catabolism and anabolism?</h3>

The series of metabolic processes known as catabolism reduces molecules into smaller pieces that are then either oxidized to produce energy or utilised in other anabolic processes. The process of anabolism produces the molecules the body needs to function. Energy is released during the catabolism process. Energy is needed for anabolic processes.

In the citric acid cycle, the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase catalyzes a reversible reaction using FAD/FADH2 as an oxidizing/red
Aliun [14]

The statement which best explains how the redox component of this reaction contributes to the reaction's ability to be reversible under cellular conditions is; <em>Choice D: The change in the biochemical standard reduction potential is small.</em>

Discussion:

A reversible process is one in which the system and environment can be restored to exactly the same initial states that they were in prior to when the process occurred, if we go backward along the path of the process.

  • However, the necessary condition for a reversible process is therefore the quasi-static requirement.

  • The quasi-static requirement in this case is that the change in the biochemical standard reduction potential is small.

Why don't siblings look exactly alike?​
lidiya [134]

Accualy some do, but that's a little rare, so I'm guessing because each child gets some of there mom and dad's to genetics, one child might get some of there mom's but more of there dad's and the other might get some of there dad's and more or there mom's..? not sure if that makes any sense-

Organisms can choose what adaptations they have.<br> True<br> False
sdas [7]

Answer: false

(I hope this is right i don't know )

Explanation: No. Organisms do not control how they adapt. Adaptations occur randomly over time and may or may not provide a helpful behavioral or physical change that allows for a successful response to environmental demands
