DRIs is the general term for a set of reference values or guidelines that are used to plan and asses nutrient intakes of healthy people. These values which vary by age and gender include: 

- Recommended Dietary allowance (RDA): average daily level of intake sufficient to meet nutrient requirements of about 97 - 98% of healthy people.

-Adequate intake (AI): established when evidence is not sufficient to develop an RDA and is set at a level assumed to ensure nutritional adequacy.

- Tolerable Upper Intake (UL): Maximum daily intake unlikely to cause adverse health  effects.

DRIs are not necessarily found on labels because there is no law requiring that they must be placed there.

How is nitrogen from the atmosphere the abiotic part of the ecosystem converted in to the biotic part of the ecosystem in organi
AveGali [126]

Solution:

Nitrogen is important because, it helps us grow crops, and it produces grass for animal. It comes from lightning and is named nitrogen fixation

By which free nitrogen (N2) is extracted from the atmosphere and converted (fixed) into nitrogen compounds which are plant nutrients (fertilizer). In nature, this process is carried out by certain bacteria (present in the root nodules of legumes such as beans and peas), blue-green algae, and the lightning flash.

Thus the Nitrogen form the atmosphere the biotic part to the ecosystem converted into the biotic part.

The process of lipid digestion begins even before you take your first bite of food. Just the smell of food can begin digestive j
ikadub [295]

Answer:

The given statements have been rearranged in the following order to depict the flow of events that account for lipid digestion in the human body:

  1. Mechanical digestion by chewing breaks food down.
  2. During digestion, gastric lipases break down fat into fatty acids and triglyceride molecules.
  3. Gastric lipase digests some triglycerides.
  4. The pancreas secretes gastric lipase into the small intestine, where the majority of fat digestion occurs.
  5. Lipid ­digesting enzymes from the pancreas break down the triglycerides into two free fatty acids and a monoglyceride.
  6. Lingual lipase is secreted from the pancreas and breaks down triglycerides.
  7. With the aid of pancreatic lipase, fats are further broken down into free fatty acids and monoglycerides.
  8. Products of fat digestion are packaged into micelles and transported to the enterocytes.

The process is started in the mouth. Action of the teeth physically breaks down the food and increases it surface area that allows for better access to it for the enzymes to carry out mechanical digestion. Gastric lipases are those in the stomach, most of the lipid digestion takes place in the small intestine with the help of enzymes secreted by the pancreas and the small intestine itself. After digestion, the final products are taken up by the lymphatic system.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
