Describe about nutrition in human being​

Biology

Alisiya [41]3 years ago

The human being has a heterotrophic nutrition. Nutrition is realised by digestion. Digestion can be either intracellular or extracellular. Intracellular digestion occurs for example when white blood cells consume pathogens or dead tissue. Extracellular digestion occurs in the digestive tract. Digestion can be either mechanical(chewing) or chemical(hydrolysis-a process in which for every broken bond a water molecule is added).

The main types of nutrients are:

Carbohydrates that are mainly used for energy. In the digestive tract there are different enzymes that hydrolyse the carbohydrates to monosaccharides.

Carbohydrate----(enzyme)--->monosaccharide

Proteins play an important structural and functional role in the body. There are specific enzymes that digest them. They are broked down to amino acids.

Protein-------(enzyme)---->amino acid

Lipids store energy. There are enzymes that break lipids down to fatty acids and glycerol.

Lipids----(enzyme)--->fatty acids+glycerol

Vitamins help the metabolism and are not chemically processed in the digestive tract nor are minerals or water.

Answer:

Nutrition In Human Beings. Nutrients are the substances in food that maintain the body and make it work. Most of what one eats is made up of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Nutrients needed in smaller amounts, but still vital, are vitamins and minerals.

Natural selection, mutation, genetic drift, nonrandom mating, and gene flow are all mechanisms of ______ and can change allele f
lozanna [386]

They are all mechanisms of <u>Evolution </u>and can change allele frequencies in populations

Natural selection, mutation, genetic drift and gene flow are all capable of causing varying changes in allele frequencies in a population. and these changes leads to the violation of Hardy-Weinberg assumptions

Hardy-Weinberg assumption states that; for a population to experience an unchanged allele frequencies, certain conditions must be met by the population such as ; absence of natural, random mating , absence of migration and absence of mutation.

Hence we can conclude that Natural selection , mutation, genetic drift and gene flow are all mechanisms of <u>Evolution </u>and can change allele frequencies in populations

4. Imagine yourself as a protein who would like to find your DNA sequence you’d like to bind. Consider what it would take for yo
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Protein molecules binding to DNA initiate sequences of biochemical transitions that control and regulate all major process in the living cells

These protein molecules strongly bond to special sequences of DNA known as specific binding sites

Theoretically , there are two main components of binding forces

- One of them is purely electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged DNA and protein molecules that are mostly sequence independent

- Other one comes from particular DNA sequence that strengthens the attraction of protein molecules

The origin of this increased affinity is due to combination of van der waals , hydrogen , covalent and steric interactions as well as electrostatic charge patterns recognition

Some studies has suggested that there is an additional statistical interaction potential between protein and DNA molecules. Source of this interaction is due to the specific structure and symmetry of DNA sequences to which protein molecule binds

DNA sequences with repeated homogeneous segments (A:T or G:C) have stronger affinity for association to DNA binding proteins as compared to heterogeneous sequences

3 types of interactions takes place on encounter of protein and DNA molecule which are van der waals forces , hydrogen bonds between complimentary organic bases (base pairs) and hydrophobic interactions between the nitrogenous bases and the surrounding sheath of water

Of all these forces van der waals forces are strongest and hydrophobic interaction between the nitrogenous bases and surrounding sheath of water is the weakest .

The middle section that talks about active and passive transport
inysia [295]

Answer:

Diffusion- Passive transport

energy required- Active transport

exocytosis- Active transport

osmosis- Passive transport

endocytosis- Active transport

energy not required- Passive transport

facilitated diffusion- Passive transport

Protein pumps- Active transport

Explanation:

Passive transport can be described as the transport of particles along the concentration gradient i.e from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This process does not require energy. For example, the phenomenon of osmosis

Active transport can be described as the transport of particles against the concentration gradient i.e from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration. This process requires energy. For example, exocytosis
