In DNA there are two types of strands, 5'/5 prime, which is the strand, aka the leading strand. 
There is also the 3' strand which is the lagging strand. 
The difference between these two is the the leading strand is discontinous during replication, they must create ozaki fragments.
The other lagging strand can just have the whole strand replicated at the same time

Answer:

Leading goes one way and is continuous. Lagging has sections done, and goes in the opposite direction, so is slower, or “lagging”.

As food is moved through the digestive tract the pancreas and small intestine release digestive enzymes according to signals bas
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

As the food moves through the gastrointestinal tract, and when it reaches the duodenum via the stomach, the food or the paste, that is, chyme becomes acidic because of the presence of acid in the stomach. When this acidic chyme moves towards the first section of the duodenum, it results in the discharging of cholecystokinin and secretin from the duodenal mucosa, which further instigates the pancreas to discharge alkaline pancreatic juice that comprises pancreatic enzymes and bicarbonate ions.  

Now the bicarbonate ions will turn the chyme alkaline and is now known as chyle. It is made alkaline as the pancreatic enzyme needs alkaline pH to function on food. The intestinal juice is also secreted due to the discharging of similar hormones as mentioned above. However, the difference is that both the mechanical stimulus and nervous stimulus results in the discharging of intestinal juice, though it is not true for pancreatic juice.

The Endosymbiotic Theory was proposed by Lynn Margulis in the 1970s.
Anestetic [448]
The endosymbiont theory explains the origin of the eukaryotic cell organelles where the cells were engulfed but not digested by the larger prokaryotic cells and in the process developed into the chloroplast, mitochondria and other organelles.
(A) The theory was trying to explain the evolutionary origin of the various cell organelles and,
also explains the dependence of cells on one another.
(B) The evidences that supported the Endosymbiotic theory includes;
    -The photosynthetic bacteria; This bacteria utilize the sun's energy to make energy hence the oxygen released from the process accumulated in the atmosphere thereby leading to the death of the anaerobic cells.
    -Organelles have their own DNA and divide independently, therefore Margulis predicted that if the organelles were really prokaryotic symbionts, then they would have their own DNA.
    - The study of fossils showed the aerobic cells in it, therefore the cells  could use the toxic oxygen and convert it into ATP(energy) and water. Organisms that could thrive in aerobic environments were now best suited to the environment.
