Water-soluble nutrients stored in blood are routed directly from the small intestine through the portal vein to the liver before any other organ. The portal vein or hepatic portal vein is a blood vessel which carries blood from the GI tract, to the liver. The blood contains nutrients and toxins extracted from digested contents. The portal vein is not a true vein, since it conducts blood to capillary beds in the liver and not directly to the heart. It is the main component of the hepatic portal system.
Hello!
Jet streams are large currents of air that travel around the planet. The ocean does not control the wind. The Sun does not control the wind. Hurricanes do not either. Mountain breezes can influence and are influenced by the jet stream.
I hope this helps!
it is an organ. the main organ in the body. I wish your question was a little more clear, like multiple choice would be very helpful to what my choices are.
Answer:
B. At what rate do the mitochondria of the cell need to convert glucose to usable energy molecules to meet the high energy needs of the cell?
Explanation:
Organelles are specific in their functioning and hence, each organelle contributes its own quota to the cell's proper functioning. According to the question, a muscle tissue is being worked on to determine the effect of a missing or damaged organelle on its cell.
Mitochondria are organelles found in all eukaryotic living cells. They are the organelles responsible for the synthesis of ATP (energy) used by the cell as a result of the glucose that gets converted in them during cellular respiration.
Therefore, to determine if the muscle cells are functioning properly, the question that: At what rate do the mitochondria of the cell need to convert glucose to usable energy molecules to meet the high energy needs of the cell? should be asked.
Note that, Chloroplast and cell wall are not found in muscle cells, which is an animal cell. Likewise, ribosomes are not organelles for synthesis of glucose.
