Why can the enzyme maltase, which breaks down into the sugar maltose, not also be used to break down the sugar sucrose?

Biology

Fed [463]3 years ago

The enzyme maltase breaks down disaccharide maltose into simple sugar glucose, which is usable by the body. This glucose can now also be stored in the liver for future use.

This maltase does nor break down sugar sucrose because it is the sucrase enzyme that breaks down sucrose into glucose and fructose.

Which of the following is NOT true regarding the sounds associated with the heart? Select one: a. The "lub-dub" sound originates
Valentin [98]

Answer:

B) The "lub-dub" sound originates from blood turbulence through the heart.

Explanation:

The systole and diastole in the heart produce the lub and dub sound in the heart.

The systole represents the contraction of both left and right ventricles and pumps the blood to the body and the right ventricle to the lungs. This involves the opening and closing of the valves. The closing of the atrioventricular valves produces lub sound.

At the end of the systole or ventricular contraction or when the blood has been pumped to the aorta and the pulmonary valves then the semilunar valves present in the aorta and pulmonary closes. This produces a sound dub.

Therefore,lub dub is associated with the physical contraction of the heart but not the turbulence of the blood.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.

Answer:

Since boron only has two electron shells, it is about as capable of gaining electrons as it is of losing electrons, so it behaves as a metalloid. The other elements in this group have more electron shells, so it is much easier for them to lose their valence electrons and they behave like metals.

Find the kinetic energy of a ball of mass 200 grams moving at a speed of 20m/s​
Gelneren [198K]
We have a mass of 200g (0.2kg) moving at 20m/s

Kinetic Energy KE = ½ mv^2 where m is mass and v is velocity

Actually, v is a vector quantity, so KE = ½ mv•v

The dot product of 2 vectors a and b is abCosθ where θ is the angle between the vectors.

Obviously v•v = v^2 Cos0 = v^2

In this case, we have KE = ½ (0.2)(20^2) = 40kg-m^2/s^2 = 40J

So we have kinetic energy in the amount of 40 Joules.
