Answer:

While digesting food, the liquid food then enters the small intestine where the acid is _neutralized_, and enzymes break down fat, protein and carbohydrates for absorption by tiny hairs called villi.

Explanation:

The small intestine is where most chemical digestion occurs. Most of the digestive enzymes that act in the small intestine are secreted by the pancreas and enter the small intestine through the pancreatic duct.

The enzymes enter the small intestine in response to the hormone cholecystokinin, which is produced in the small intestine in response to the presence of nutrients. The hormone secretin also causes <em>bicarbonate to be released into the small intestine from the pancreas in order to </em><em>neutralize</em><em> the potentially harmful acid that comes from the stomach.</em>

This is to protect the cells lining the small intestine from the acid.

In a population of cats, the phenotypic frequency of black cats is 91%, and the phenotypic frequency of white cats is 9%. Assumi
Talja [164]

Answer:

1. Allele frequency of b = 0.09 (or 9%)

2. Allele frequency of B = 0.91 (0.91%)

3. Genotype frequency of BB = 0.8281 (or 82.81%)

4. Genotype frequency of Bb = 0.1638 (or 16.38%)

Explanation:

Given that:

p = the frequency of the dominant allele (represented here by B)  = 0.91

q = the frequency of the recessive allele (represented here by b)  = 0.09

For a population in genetic equilibrium:

p + q = 1.0 (The sum of the frequencies of both alleles is 100%.)

(p + q)^2 = 1

Therefore:

p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1

in which:  

p^2 = frequency of BB (homozygous dominant)

2pq = frequency of Bb (heterozygous)

q^2 = frequency of bb (homozygous recessive)

p^2 = 0.91^2 = 0.8281

2pq = 2(0.91)(0.9) = 0.1638

BEFORE equilibrium has been reached in this container: (Circle a letter for each) 1. Movement of glucose across the membrane in
qwelly [4]

Hello. You forgot to put the image so that this question can be answered, but I will describe what the image shows.

The image shows two types of "cups" that have a type of connection between the two. In cup A there is 1 mole of glucose and 1 mole of fructose. In cup B there is 0.1 mol of glucose and 1.5 mol of fructose.

Answer:

A. Solution A to Solution B

Explanation:

Balance is achieved when the "cup" with the lowest concentration of glucose receives glucose from the "cup" with the highest concentration, to the point that the two glasses establish equal concentrations of glucose between them.

We know that cup B has a lower concentration of glucose, which indicates that the movement of this solute was from cup A towards cup B. With this we can conclude that the letter A is the correct answer.
