Answer: Gut microbiome degrade the ingested milk sugars through a biochemical pathway, producing ATP required for the energy needs of infant.
Explanation:
The human breast milk fed on by infants contains a high concentration of indigestible oligosaccharides which include lacto-N-tetraose and lacto-N-fucopentaose.
These milk sugars are utilized by microbes in the gut of infants, yielding lactate as the final product of metabolism and releasing several molecules of ATP as useful energy for use by the infant.
Thus, the presence of these gut microbes at birth, and the feeding of infant with breast milk is vital to fulfilling their energy needs
Answer: A) Hydrogen Bond
Explanation:
A hydrogen bond occurs when a hydrogen (H) is covalently bound to a more electronegative atom or group forms an electrostatic attraction to another electronegative atom bearing a lone pair of electrons. This is possible due to the polarity of the H-electronegative atom bonds.
Answer:
Autotrophs are organisms that use light energy or energy stored in chemical compounds to make their own food.
1st order heterotrophs are organisms that eat only plants
2nd order heterotrophs are organisms that eat herbivores
3rd order heterotrophs: organisms that eat herbivores and other carnivores
Top group: carnivores
Explanation:
Producers are named as such because they produce their own food either by photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. These organisms are called autotrophs and include plants.
There are various levels of consumers. The first is first order heterotrophs, which feed on the producers. These are herbivores and include, for example, a deer feeding on grass.
The next is second order heterotrophs, which feed on the first order heterotrophs. E.g. an owl eating a mouse. These are carnivores
The next layer are also carnivores, third order heterotrophs which eat second order heterotrophs, for example a lion eating a zebra.
Answer:
B is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The sensory receptors in the nose send signals to the olfactory bulb. These signals are then processed by the brain, which sends a response. Olfactory bulb is the one that receives olfactory(relating to the sense of smell) information which is then relayed to other parts of the brain.
