Answer:

Hydrolysis

Explanation:

Hydrolysis is a reaction that needs water to breakdown macromolecules into simpler units.

Macromolecules are giant polymers made up of several repeating monomeric units.

  • These units are too complex for the body to digest and derive nutritional benefits from them.
  • During hydrolysis, the complex is broken down into monomers.
  • The monomeric units are absorbable and useful for the body.

The correct matching of the given terms are as follows;

Adhesion - the ability of two substances to stick together.

Thermal energy - is the random motion of molecules.

Surface tension - is a measure of how difficult it is to break the surface of a liquid.

Evaporation - is the cooling of a surface due to a substance changing from a liquid to a gas.

Temperature - is the average speed of molecules moving within matter.

<h3>What is are the definition of the given terms?</h3>

The definition of the given terms are as follows;

Adhesion is defined as the attractive force which exists between two different molecules which cause them to stick together.

Thermal energy is the random motion of molecules.

Surface tension  is a measure of how difficult it is to break the surface of a liquid.

Evaporation is the cooling of a surface due to a substance changing from a liquid to a gas.

Temperature is the average speed of molecules moving within matter.

In conclusion, adhesion involves the attraction between molecules of different substances.

After school, Kai feels hungry and tired. He finds some sugar cookies in the cabinet and finishes the whole package. Which state
DedPeter [7]

The correct answer is Glucagon was secreted by his pancreas before he ate the cookies because his blood glucose was low. Insulin was secreted after he ate the cookies because his blood glucose was high.  

At the time of hunger, the blood glucose level decreases, and glucagon at that time, that is, the hormone discharged by the islets of Langerhans increases the level of sugars in the body. The stored glucose in the liver gets discharged due to the presence of glucagon, which eventually elevates the level of glucose in the blood.  

In the given case, when Kai ate the cookies, the level of glucose in the blood got increased and even elevated from the normal level in the blood. At that time, the insulin hormone is discharged from the islets of Langerhans, which helps the cells of the body to absorb the molecules of glucose and thus lowers the concentration of glucose in the blood. Therefore, both the hormones help in monitoring the levels of glucose in the body.
