The main biomolecules present in the meal are carbohydrates but there are also proteins and lipids.

First of all starch will be hydrolysed in the mouth.Saliva contains an enzyme called amylase that turns starch into dextroses and maltose.

In the stomach the HCl will activate the pepsinogen and it will become pepsin that will hydrolise proteins to albumoses and peptones.

Also in the stomach an enzyme called gastric lypase is present which turns lipids into glycerol and fatty acids.

In the duodenum:The pancreas releases pancreatic amylase which turns starch into maltose. It releases pancreatic lypase which turns lipids into fatty acids and glycerol. It releases proteolytic enzymes(trypsin, chemotrypsin, carboxypetidase, elastase, collagenase) which turn proteins, albumoses and peptones into oligopeptides(3-4 aminoacids) and aminoacids.

In the rest of the small intestines enzymes secreted by the cells that line the small intestine work. Oligopeptidases turn oligopeptides into aminoacids. Maltase turns maltose into 2 molecules of glucose. Sucrase turns sacrose into 1 molecule of glucose and one of fructose. Lactase turns lactose into 1 molecule of glucose and 1 of galactose. The intestinal lypase turns lipids into glycerol and fatty acids.

<u><em>Mouth</em></u>

1.Starch----(salivary amylase)--->maltose+dextrose

<em><u>Stomach</u></em>

2.lipids---(gastric lypase)---->glycerol+fatty acids

3.proteins---(pepsin)--->albumoses and peptones

<u><em>Duodenum</em></u>

4.Starch---(pancreatic amylase)--->maltose

5.lipids--(pancreatic lypase)--->glycerol+fatty acids

6.proteins+albumoses+peptones---(trypsin,chemotrypsin,carboxypeptidase,elastase collagenase)--->oligopeptides+AA

<em><u>Small intestine(Jejunum and ileon)</u></em>

7.maltose---(maltase)--->2glucose

8.sacrose---(sacrase)--->glucose+fructose

9.lactose---(lactase)--->glucose+galactose

10.lipids---(intestinal lypase)--->glycerol+fatty acids

11.oligopeptides---(oligopeptidase)--->amino acids

What is the oxidizing agent in the following reaction?
Andru [333]

Answer:

The answer is d. pyruvate

Explanation:

An oxidizing agent is the substance that gains electrons in a chemical reaction. At the end of the reaction it is reduced and its oxidation state increased.

A reducing agent is the substance that loses electrons in a chemical reaction. At the end of the reaction it is oxidized and its oxidation state decreased.

Pyruvate gains one electron, it is reduced from pyruvate to lactate; thus, pyruvate is the oxidizing agent.

NADH loses one electron, it is oxidized from NADH to NAD; thus, NADH is the reducing agent

  • People have an "S" shapes spine with a more limited straight firm more extensive more bowl-like pelvis.
  • While Apes have a "C" formed spine and an introvert restricted pelvis.
  • People knees are calculated inwards (valgus point - the point the femur makes at the knee) so the knee sits closer the focal point of gravity.
  • The knee joints are bigger.
  • Individuals have considerably more mind boggling types of verbal correspondence than some other primate species.
  • We are the main creature to make and involve images for the purpose of correspondence.
  • We additionally have more changed and complex social associations.
