Answer:
1/2
Explanation:
Let's assume that the allele "p" is responsible for PKU in the homozygous state. According to the given information, both the parents are unaffected by the disorder but have an affected child. This means that both the parents carry at least one copy of the recessive allele responsible for the disease. Therefore, the genotype of each of the parents is Pp. A cross between Pp and Pp would produce progeny in following ratio=
Pp x Pp = 1/4 PP: 1/2/ Pp: 1/4 pp
Therefore, the probability that their next child will carry just one recessive allele is 1/2.
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:
- Mechanical digestion by chewing breaks food down.
- During digestion, gastric lipases break down fat into fatty acids and triglyceride molecules.
- Gastric lipase digests some triglycerides.
- The pancreas secretes gastric lipase into the small intestine, where the majority of fat digestion occurs.
- Lipid digesting enzymes from the pancreas break down the triglycerides into two free fatty acids and a monoglyceride.
- Lingual lipase is secreted from the pancreas and breaks down triglycerides.
- With the aid of pancreatic lipase, fats are further broken down into free fatty acids and monoglycerides.
- 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!
Answer:
Small uncharged polar molecules, such as H2O, also can diffuse through membranes, but larger uncharged polar molecules, such as glucose, cannot. Charged molecules, such as ions, are unable to diffuse through a phospholipid bilayer regardless of size; even H+ ions cannot cross a lipid bilayer by free diffusion.

Answer:
The correct pair is A: "apicomplexans—parasites of animals"
Explanation:
- Euglenophyta is a group of unicellular, eukaryotic organisms. They are small, free-living forms, or parasites that present different feeding mechanisms and behaviors, such as heterotrophy, autotrophy, or mixotrophy.
- Dinoflagellates are unicellular, flagellated, free-living protists that might form colonies. Most of them are autotrophic organisms but some of them are heterotrophic, or mixotrophic. In these last cases, dinoflagellates can feed on other dinoflagellates, protozoans, or diatoms. They can also be parasites.
- Entamoebas are endoparasitic organisms with no mitochondria as an adaptation of living in environments with low oxygen concentration.
- Apicomplexa is a unicellular, protist group. They have medical and economic importance as they are<u> animals</u> and human parasites. They have an apical complex that helps them to fixate to the host cell and release a substance that provokes an invagination in the host membrane. This invagination allows the parasite to get into the host cell.
