Answer:
The best choice from the answer options for the question: Which of the following is NOT true about absorption of fats, would be: C: The chylomicrons enter the blood in the villi capillaries.
Explanation:
Because of the characteristics of fatty acids, and fats in general, they are not able to either pass the intestinal enterocytes, and enter the bloodstream, as easily as glucose, or other molecules, can. Instead, they first must be passed into the enterocytes, the intenstines´ cells, by their combination with bile. Once inside the intestine, the enterocytes take up the fats and combines them with lipoproteins and cholesterol in order to create the chylomicrons. But before these chylomicrons can make their way to the blood, first they must be taken up by the lymphatic vessels present in the villus of the intestinal epithelium, not the blood capillaries. It will be the lymphatic system which will be reponsible for passing the fats to the bloodstream, who will then distribute them to the appropriate cells in the body as energy is required. Or they will be taken for storage by the liver.
Answer:
The correct answer is explained below:
Explanation:
- Flooding and intrusion of salt water in the low lying areas can adversely affect human life. This can happen in the following ways:
- Flooding can cause many people to die due to drowning in the flood water.
- Many people lose their habitat and all their belongings due to the entry of water into the settlements having only the ground floors. These people need to rehabilitated to safer regions.
- The saline water percolates through the ground and mixes with the fresh water present in the water table, thereby making them saline and non-consumable.
- People have to face the dearth of food, drinking water, clothes and electricity until rescue operations are sent.
- Increased chance of transmission of water-communicable or water-borne diseases like diarrhoea.
