Answer:

A. The dermis lies anterior to the epidermis.

Explanation:

The "Skin" consists of <u><em>three layers:</em></u>

<em>1. Epidermis</em>

<em>2. Dermis</em>

<em>3. Subcutaneous Fat</em>

They are arranged accordingly, which means that the "dermis" lies beneath the epidermis. Therefore, it lies "posterior" or <em>at the back of the epidermis</em>. "Anterior" means<em> "front."</em> The dermis is definitely not anterior to the epidermis. <u>This makes choice A as not a characteristic of the dermis.</u>

<em>Choice B is a characteristic of dermis</em> because the dermis consists of<u> many blood vessels</u> and<u> three types of connective tissue</u><u><em>s</em></u><em> (collagen fibers, elastic fibers and reticular fibers). </em>

<em>Choice C is a characteristic of dermis </em>because it also consists of the<u> lymph vessels, nerves and accessory organs.</u>

<em>Choice D is a characteristic of dermis</em> because the dermis consists of two distinct layers, a superficial layer <em>(papillary dermis</em>) and a deeper layer <em>(reticular dermis). </em>

Choose the correct statement from the list below:
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

D. Proteins that are consumed in the diet are absorbed as individual amino acids following digestion

Explanation:

Protein digestion begins from stomach and continues in small intestine too. In stomach, enzyme pepsin is responsible for breakdown of proteins into smaller fragments. The acidic environment created by hydrochloric acid facilitates this process.

Protein fragments move from stomach to small intestine where the main breakdown occurs. Pancreas releases two enzymes, trypsin and chymotrypsin in small intestine. These two enzymes along with some enzymes secreted by the small intestine breakdown the small protein fragments into individual amino acids which are finally absorbed via villi in small intestine.
