The body monitors fat stores by assessing levels of the hormone ____, which is produced and secreted by fat cells.

Ivan

Leptin. Leptin is produced by fat cells and released when your body has enough fat in storage. When leptin reaches the brain, it gives your body a feeling of fullness so that you will not want to continue eating. Individuals with leptin resistance, where the leptin hormone signals are not received as they should be, are often overweight because they do not have the same brain signals telling them that their body is full.

How would dna extracted from an onion be different from dna extraction from cauliflower?

JulsSmile [24]

Dna extration from a onion and from a cauliflower would be different because even though all DNA is composed by the same nucleotides (A, T, C and G), the sequence of their genes will be different. That difference is why a cauliflower doesn't look like a onion. The cauliflower has genes that, when expressed, make the organism look like cauliflower and nothing else..

Explanation:

Amylase is a digestive enzyme secreted and is responsible for breaking down starch.

Digestion describes the intake, chemical and physical breakdown, absorption of nutrients and excretion of food. Alpha amylase, an enzyme produced in the pancreas, is found in human saliva; it catalyzes the breakdown of starch into glucose

Further Explanation:

Food is chemically and mechanically broken down into into smaller particles. This begins in the mouth, where food is mechanically crushed by the teeth, and mixed with saliva to allow water based enzymes like lingual lipase and amylase to work;- it's then transported to the stomach via the esophagus.

Alpha amylase, an enzyme produced in the pancreas, is also found in human saliva; it catalyzes the hydrolysis, or breakdown of starch into glucose in the stomach as gastric amylase. Amylase acts on polysaccharides bonds at random points along the chain by splitting the α 1-4 glycosidic bonds.
