Hydrolysis of carbohydrates you eat begin in your mouth as you chew. How do you think this process might be affected in a person

Luda [366]3 years ago

Answer:

The carbohydrates will not be digested properly.

Explanation:

The kind of carbohydrates that a person takes from plants is in the form of amylose. From animals, a person will receive carbohydrates in the form of glycogen,

The digestion of carbohydrates begins as soon as the food is taken in the mouth by the amylase enzyme present in the saliva.

If a person does not have the salivary glands, then there will be no production of saliva and amylase enzyme. Hence, the carbohydrates will not be digested.

a mechanism that is effective in maintaining a normal glomerular blood pressure only if the systemic mean arterial pressure rema
rodikova [14]

A mechanism that is effective in maintaining a normal glomerular blood pressure only if the systemic mean arterial pressure remains between 80 and 180 mm hg is called renal autoregulation.

<h3>What is renal autoregulation?</h3>
  • Autoregulation is the inner characteristic of blood vessels present in end organs, like heart, kidney, and mind, by which they dilate or constrict in response to pressure changes, thus help to keep the blood flow generally steady.
  • Usually our body tries to regulate our blood pressure in range of 50 to 150 mm Hg.
  • Regulation of renal blood flow and glomerular blood pressure in kidneys is called renal autoregulation.
  • There are 3 mechanisms of renal blood flow namely myogenic response (MR), tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF) and third mechanism that is independent of TGF but slower than MR.

Microbes that thrive in acidic environments seem to have "cost free" ATP energy available to them due to the pre-existing H grad
bixtya [17]

Answer:

The microbes thriving in acidic environments are termed as acidophiles, and these range from eukaryotes to bacteria and archaea, which are mainly found in diverse acidic surroundings like sulfuric geysers and pools, in the human stomach, and in the regions that get polluted by acid mine drainage.  

The mentioned case is not entirely correct as the protons found in the acidic surroundings are not utilized for the generation of ATP as they are not originating from within the cell. In order to sustain their internal acidic pH, the acidophiles exhibit adaptations like the presence of the negatively charged proteins on the surfaces of their membranes so that they can prevent deterioration due to acidic surroundings.

What would be the effect of a mutation in the coding region of the lactase gene?
Fynjy0 [20]

Lactase refers to an enzyme that can dissociate lactose sugar into glucose and galactose. This enzyme plays an important role in the digestion of milk that comprises high lactose sugar. In case, if a mutation occurs in the gene codon of lactase, then two possibilities can take place. These are as follows:  

1. Loss of mutation: In this case, the person becomes lactose intolerant because of mutation in lactase gene codon. Due to this, there is low mRNA expression and thus low production of the enzyme lactase. This is also known as lactase non-persistent phenotype.  

2. Gain in mutation: In this case, the person gain an increase in mRNA expression of the lactase gene, thus more production of lactase takes place than usual. This kind of individual exhibits lactase persistent phenotype.
