Answer:

The digestion of carbohydrates begins in the mouth and ends in the small intestine.

Explanation:

The absorption of carbohydrates, depending on whether they are simple or complex, will begin their digestion in the mouth by the action of saliva in food, where starches are initially separated; Once this food bolus reaches the stomach, the hydrochloric acid acts, to end later in the small intestine. Amylase, a component of pancreatic juice, ends the digestive process of carbohydrates by transforming starches into maltose, which are then transformed into monisacarides (glucose, galactose, fructose), which is the way they are absorbed by the body. In the liver they are again transformed into glucose.

Aminiotic fluid formation and clearance ?

stich3 [128]

Introduction :-)

The amniotic fluid is the protective liquid contained by the amniotic sac of a gravid amniote. This fluid serves as a cushion for the growing fetus, but also serves to facilitate the exchange of nutrients, water, and biochemical products between mother and fetus.

Importance :-)

It helps to protect the fetus from trauma to the maternal abdomen.
It cushions the umbilical cord from compression between the fetus and uterus.
It has antibacterial properties that provide some protection from infection.
It serves as a reservoir of fluid and nutrients for the fetus.

Formation :-)

Amniotic fluid is present from the formation of the gestational sac. Amniotic fluid is in the amniotic sac. It is generated from maternal plasma, and passes through the fetal membranes by osmotic and hydrostatic forces. When fetal kidneys begin to function around week 16, fetal urine also contributes to the fluid. In earlier times, it was believed that the amniotic fluid was composed entirely of fetal urine.

The fluid is absorbed through the fetal tissue and skin. After 22 to 25 week of pregnancy, fraternization of an embryo's skin occurs. When this process completes around the 25th week, the fluid is primarily absorbed by the fetal gut for the remainder of gestation.

Contents :-)

At first, amniotic fluid is mainly water with electrolytes, but by about the 12-14th week the liquid also contains proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and phospholipids, and urea, all of which aid in the growth of the fetus.

Hope its helpful :-)

How could a pill/drug effect peoples body????

Greeley [361]

Answer: Different types of drugs affect your body in different ways, and the effects associated with drugs can vary from person to person. How a drug effects an individual is dependent on a variety of factors including body size, general health, the amount and strength of the drug, and whether any other drugs are in the system at the same time. It is important to remember that illegal drugs are not controlled substances, and therefore the quality and strength may differ from one batch to another

Ksivusya [100]

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is treated with a combination of drugs because the organism is resistant to many, including penicillin and fluoroquinolones.

Gonorrhoeae is a contender to produce an incurable illness due to the development or acquisition of resistance mechanisms for sulfonamides, penicillins, tetracyclines, ciprofloxacin, and more recently azithromycin and ceftriaxone during the past 80 years.

The Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria is the source of the sexually transmitted illness (STD) known as gonorrhea. The urethra in both men and women as well as the cervix, uterus, and fallopian tubes in women are all affected by N. gonorrhoeae infection.

Penicillin is the first drug that has been shown to be effective against syphilis and gonorrhea. However, compared to the dosage required to treat syphilis, which is often approximately 1,000,000 units, the drug used to treat gonorrhea is frequently administered in doses of just around 100,000 units.

Draw two amino acids connected via a dehydration synthesis reaction.

sergejj [24]

Answer:

Conversion of alcohols to alkenes: R-CH2-CHOH-R → R-CH=CH-R + H2O

Conversion of carboxylic acids to acid anhydrides 2 RCO2H → (RCO)2O + H2O

Explanation:

Dehydration

In chemistry, a dehydration reaction is one that involves the loss of water. In organic synthesis, where an acid is often used as a catalyst, there are numerous examples of dehydration reactions: Conversion of alcohols to ethers: 2 R-OH → R-O-R + H2O Conversion of alcohols to alkenes: R-CH2-CHOH-R → R-CH=CH-R + H2O Conversion of carboxylic acids to acid anhydrides 2 RCO2H → (RCO)2O + H2O Conversion of amides to nitriles: RCONH2 → R-CN + H2O
