The vast majority of fat digestion and absorption occurs in the

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.

Choose ALL of the phases of matter listed<br> that are able to flow:<br> gas<br> liquid<br> solid
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

- gas

- liquid

Explanation:

     Part of the definition of gases and liquids is the ability to flow, so this answers your question.

     Why does this not apply to solids? The cells in a solid are closer together with less room for movement, so they do not "flow" like gasses or liquids. You can think of the device you are asking this question on versus the water in the ocean.

<u>Note</u>: Gas can still flow, but it does not flow the same as water. It depends on what you are being taught for if gas flows or not.

-> Liquid flows from high to low only, while gas can flow in all directions

Have a nice day!

     I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)

Which of the following correctly matches the equilibrium receptor organs to the type of equilibrium it monitors?
Anarel [89]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. maculae/ static equilibrium.

Explanation:

Maculae are mechanoreceptors present inside the saccule and utricle specialized for the static equilibrium detecting. Maculae use hair cells to find out the movements of the otolithic membrane occurs, which is the surrounding membrane of the macula.

The sense of the position of the head to determine the stability and posture is static equilibrium and it is determined by the maculae.

Thus, the correct answer is option- B. maculae/ static equilibrium.

Composed of a phosohlipid bilayer
Zigmanuir [339]

The cell membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer.

The cell membrane is primarily composed of a mix of proteins and phospholipids

Phospholipids are a major component of cell membranes.  They a head and a tail. The head is hydrophilic  (attracted to water) and the tail is hydrophobic (repelled by water).

They form a bilayer in which their hydrophilic heads face the aqueous cytosol and extracellular fluid  while their hydrophobic tails face away from the cytosol  and extracellular fluid.

The lipid bilayer is semi - permeable

Suppose that the same island experiences environmental conditions that prevent the growth of large seeds. What do you think woul
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

would be smaller

Explanation:

During his work, Darwin observed that the size and shape of finches' beaks varied between islands as a consequence of the food type and food availability in each island. Darwin proposed that this phenotypic variation was a response to natural selection, i.e., those organisms with more suitable beaks in their corresponding environments (i.e., islands) would be better adapted to survive and reproduce, thereby passing their genes to the next generations. In consequence, in this case, it is expected that the average size of finch beaks will be smaller because environmental factors prevent the growth of large seeds.
