When plants and animals die, they become food for decomposers like bacteria, fungi and earthworms. Decomposers or saprotrophs recycle dead plants and animals into chemical nutrients like carbon and nitrogen that are released back into the soil, air and water.

PKU arises when the Phenylalanine hydroxylase enzyme is not synthesized due to a genetic defect thereby affecting creation of neurotransmitters such as epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine. Some of the symptoms of this disorder are hyperactivity, seizures, eczema, tremors etc. PKU is not connected with language development issues and hence correct option is D
Answer:
B) fats
Explanation:
Common hepatic duct is s the part of the biliary tract which means that is involved in the secretion of bile.
Bile salts secreted from the bill have an important role in emulsification of lipids (fats). They have the ability to aggregate around lipids thanks to their amphipatic nature. Amphipatic nature means that they have hydrophobic side which binds directly to lipids and hydrophilic side which are faced outwards. Lipids enveloped with bile salts are called micelles.
Formation of micelles increases the surface area of fat, which is appropriate for the the action of the enzyme pancreatic lipase (perform digestion of triglycerides).
