Why does amino acids decrease in ileum​

Biology
1 answer:
ASHA 777 [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The two major pancreatic enzymes that digest proteins in the small intestine are chymotrypsin and trypsin. Trypsin activates other protein-digesting enzymes called proteases, and together, these enzymes break proteins down to tripeptides, dipeptides, and individual amino acids.

Where in the body would you find low oxygen levels causing vasoconstriction and high levels causing vasodilation?
stealth61 [152]
The correct answer is the lungs. Usually, in the systemic organs such as the liver, kidneys, and the heart; hypoxia or low oxygen levels cause the blood vessels supplying them to vasodilate to increase flow of blood and prevent ischemia. Adequate oxygenation of systemic organs cause the blood supply to vasoconstrict to prevent pooling of oxygenated blood and shunt it to other organs that need the oxygen more.

However, in the lungs, the opposite is true because in the setting of hypoxia, the blood vessels of the lungs vasoconstrict as to shunt the blood to other parts of the lungs with adequate oxygenation for the blood to be adequately oxygenated. If there is adequate oxygen in the lungs, then blood vessels vasodilate to efficiently get the oxygen from the lungs.

Homologous structures are structures found in one species that have the same basic anatomical structure and embryonic origin as
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

C. a whale's flipper and a cat's leg

Explanation:

Homologous structures are the organs which have same basic anatomical structure but they perform different function based on the type of environment in which the organism is living. Two organisms which have homologous organs indicate that both the organisms are evolutionarily closely related to each other i.e. their ancestry is common. It is basically divergent evolution which is responsible for formation of homologous organs. If two closely related organisms are living in different environment then their organs which basically have same origin will tend to perform different functions as a part of adaptation. In contrast to this, analogous structures are the ones which perform similar function but anatomically they are very different and evolutionarily they are not closely related. Analogous structures are evolved as a result of convergent evolution which is meant for adaptation in a particular environment. So, even if two organisms are not closely related they still develop the structures which perform similar function so as to adapt into a particular environment.

Whales and cats both are mammals so they are closely related to each other but since they live in different environment, their organs which are anatomically similar perform different functions. Flippers in whales help in swimming while cat's leg help in walking. So, option C is correct answer.

All other options are examples of analogous organs.

A bird's wings and a butterfly's wings are perfect example of analogous organs. A bird is a vertebrate while a butterfly is an arthropod so evolutionarily they are very distantly related so their wings are also anatomically very dissimilar but they still perform similar function which help these two organisms in flying. So option A is incorrect. Similarly option D is also incorrect because wasp is an arthropod while dolphin is a vertebrate. Option B is also incorrect because catfish is a vertebrate and bee is an arthropod.
