Answer:

The correct answer is: synthesize vitamin K and B-complex vitamins.

Explanation:

The large intestine, an important region of the gastrointestinal tract, is populated with bacteria that maintain our bodies healthy. The term used to describe these organisms that live in the digestive tract is gut microbiota.

The relationship between humans and the gut microbiota is not only non-harmful but also beneficial to humans. Bacteria ferment dietary fibers into short-chain fatty acids for us to absorb it. Gut microbiota also plays a crucial role in synthesizing vitamin B and vitamin K, as well as metabolizing sterols and bile acids. These bacteria act much like an endocrine system that regulates intestinal function with the use of short-chain fatty acids, as if they were hormones.

Vitamin K is important for blood clotting, while vitamin B intervenes in cellular metabolism.

Which phrase best describes the property of selective permeability?

belka [17]

Answer:

some molecules pass

Explanation:

The ability of a membrane to pass or not to pass a substance is its permeability (permeability).

Permeability is, in fact, the ease with which a dissolved particle passes through the membrane, which depends on both the properties of the particles and the properties of the membrane itself.

The membrane is semipermeable (semipermeable) or selectively permeable because it does not permeate all molecules.

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Diferente.

Explicación:

La relación entre la disponibilidad y el consumo de recursos renovables y no renovables entre países desarrollados y en desarrollo es diferente debido a la presencia de tecnología que permite a los países desarrollados utilizar sus recursos renovables y no renovables disponibles. Los países desarrollados están más avanzados que los países en desarrollo en el campo de la tecnología y también la economía, por lo que pueden utilizar recursos renovables en comparación con los recursos no renovables.
