Answer:

1. Carbohydrates (CHO)

2. Lipids (fats)

3. Proteins

4. Vitamins

5. Minerals

6. Water

1.Carbohydrates (CHO):

Carbohydrates (CHO) are composed of simple sugars (i.e. glucose, fructose, galactose) and are found mainly in plants (usually stored as starches or cellulose).

2. Lipids (fats):

Lipid: Another word for "fat." (Please see the various meanings of fat.) A lipid is chemically defined as a substance that is insoluble in water and soluble in alcohol, ether, and chloroform. ... Lipids include fatty acids, neutral fats, waxes and steroids (like cortisone).

3. Proteins:

A protein is a naturally occurring, extremely complex substance that consists of amino acid residues joined by peptide bonds. Proteins are present in all living organisms and include many essential biological compounds such as enzymes, hormones, and antibodies.

4. Vitamins:

A vitamin is an organic molecule that is an essential micronutrient which an organism needs in small quantities for the proper functioning of its metabolism. Essential nutrients cannot be synthesized in the organism, either at all or not in sufficient quantities, and therefore must be obtained through the diet.

5. Minerals:

In geology and mineralogy, a mineral or mineral species is, broadly speaking, a solid chemical compound with a fairly well-defined chemical composition and a specific crystal structure that occurs naturally in pure form. The geological definition of mineral normally excludes compounds that occur only in living beings.

6. Water:

Water is an inorganic, transparent, tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless chemical substance, which is the main constituent of Earth's hydrosphere and the fluids of all known living organisms. It is vital for all known forms of life, even though it provides no calories or organic nutrients.

5. In the following picture, label each of the letters<br> with what is occuring
sp2606 [1]

Answer: see explanation

Explanation:

A. substrate

B. Active site

C. Enzyme binds with substrate

D. Active site of enzyme

E. Products leaving active site

Simplified enzymatic reaction. The substrate reversibly binds to the active site of the enzyme, forming the enzyme-substrate (ES) complex. The bound substrate is converted to product by catalytic groups in the active site, forming the enzyme-product complex (EP). The bound products are released, returning the enzyme to its unbound form, ready to catalyze another round of converting substrate to product.

Transport of a substance from the lumen (cavity) of an organ into one side of a cell and out the other side of the cell into the
Feliz [49]

Transport of a substance from the lumen (cavity) of an organ into one side of a cell and out the other side of the cell into the extracellular fluid is called <u>transcellular transport</u>.

The two routes of transport of substances across the epithelium of the gut are by transcellular method and paracellular method.

Transcellular transport refers to the transport of solutes across a epithelial cell layer through the cells.  The best example is the movement of glucose from the intestinal lumen to the extracellular fluid by the epithelial cells. The epithelial cells use the active transport to generate the transcellular transport. Active transport refers to the transport of substances from a region of its lower concentration to a region of its higher concentration against the concentration gradient using cellular energy.

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Antigen may be defined as the chemical that has the ability to evoke the  and immune response and can harm the living organisms. The specific antibody are produced against the immune response.

The antigens has evolved different mechanisms to prevent themselves from them the immune system of the host. The antigenic shift is the most common change that might occur in viruses that helps the antigen to protect itself by changing its genetic material. No anti viral drugs are available for the viruses.

Thus, the answer is true.
