Is there a mammal that lays eggs
Bess [88]
<span>Yes, there are mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to a live young. These mammals are called Monotremes. One best example to this is the platypus and echidnas. Platypus, which is also known as the duck-billed platypus, is a semiaquatic egg laying mammal. Echidnas on the other hand are also called as spiny eaters. Echidna and platypus are only the surviving members of the Tachyglosside. And are the sole extant egg laying mammal</span>

The process of lipid digestion begins even before you take your first bite of food. Just the smell of food can begin digestive j
ikadub [295]

Answer:

The given statements have been rearranged in the following order to depict the flow of events that account for lipid digestion in the human body:

  1. Mechanical digestion by chewing breaks food down.
  2. During digestion, gastric lipases break down fat into fatty acids and triglyceride molecules.
  3. Gastric lipase digests some triglycerides.
  4. The pancreas secretes gastric lipase into the small intestine, where the majority of fat digestion occurs.
  5. Lipid ­digesting enzymes from the pancreas break down the triglycerides into two free fatty acids and a monoglyceride.
  6. Lingual lipase is secreted from the pancreas and breaks down triglycerides.
  7. With the aid of pancreatic lipase, fats are further broken down into free fatty acids and monoglycerides.
  8. Products of fat digestion are packaged into micelles and transported to the enterocytes.

The process is started in the mouth. Action of the teeth physically breaks down the food and increases it surface area that allows for better access to it for the enzymes to carry out mechanical digestion. Gastric lipases are those in the stomach, most of the lipid digestion takes place in the small intestine with the help of enzymes secreted by the pancreas and the small intestine itself. After digestion, the final products are taken up by the lymphatic system.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

Which of the following terms are NOT used interchangeably? muscle tension - muscle force in vivo - in the body/ the living muscl
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is "motor unit - motor neuron".

Explanation:

Motor unit and motor neuron are related terms, however they could not be used interchangeably because a motor unit is not comprised only of a motor neuron. A motor unit is made of a motor neuron, skeletal muscle fibers and neuron's axonal terminals. Therefore motor unit is a more broadly term, and is referred to the units that coordinate the contractions of single muscles.
