Answer:

Bile is a fluid that is made and released by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. Bile helps with digestion. It breaks down fats into fatty acids, which can be taken into the body by the digestive tract.

Explanation:

When digesting fats, bile acts as an emulsifier to break the large fat globules into smaller emulsion droplets. Emulsified fats provide a larger area for the fat-digesting enzymes (lipase) to act, making the process quicker. Bile acts as a good solvent.

What types of local winds would you experiemce if you were standing in a valley at night

Neporo4naja [7]

Hey there,

Your question states: What types of local winds would you experience if you were standing in a valley at night?

The type of local winds would you experience if you were standing in a valley at night would be like a $\boxed{valley \ breeze}$ . Based on my research, when attending the valley of any sort, you would not really see like 10 MPH winds, there winds are not powerful at all. They are little breeze that feel good. That it why your answer is Breeze :)

Which of the following is true of kinesin?

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

C. Kinesin hydrolyzes ATP.

Explanation:

The central force-generating element that the two types of motor proteins (Kinesin and Myosin) have in common includes the site of ATP binding and the machinery necessary to translate ATP hydrolysis into an allosteric conformational change. Kinesin must use the energy derived from ATP binding and hydrolysis to force a large movement in part of the protein molecule. When kinesin forms a rigor-like tight association with the head location of the microtubule, the ATP is bound to the kinesin, and it is hydrolysis of ATP that promotes release of the motor from its track. Thus, myosins can typically drive filament sliding much more rapidly than kinesins, even though they hydrolyze ATP at comparable rates and take molecular steps of comparable length.
