Biology
1 answer:
Vesnalui [34]3 years ago
6 0

The correct answer is: c. small intestine

The digestion of fat mostly occurs in the small intestine, but it can sometimes begin in mouth where lingual lipase breaks down some lipids. Before absorption, fats have to be emulsified (broken down to small droplets) and it is done thanks to pancreatic lipase from the pancreas and bile from the liver. Monoglycerides and fatty acids associate and form micelles (together with bile salts and phospholipids, vitamins and cholesterol). Micelles are necessary for the transport to the enterocyte, but only freely dissolved monoglycerides and fatty acids can be absorbed.

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

DNA replication is the process in which the DNA is copied and it occurs during synthesis phase of the eukaryotic cell cycle. It begins with an enzyme breaking the bonds between complementary bases in DNA which exposes the bases inside  the molecules so they can be read by another enzyme and used to build two new DNA strands with complementary bases.

Explanation:

The original strand is: TAGCGTT

                                      ATCGCAA

The Mutated strand is: TGGCGTT

                                       ATCGCAA

<em>The replicated strand is: GAATCAC</em>

<em>                                           CTTAGTG</em>
