Why does protease digest protein but not fat?

Biology
1 answer:
koban [17]2 years ago
4 0

Stomach acid helps protease enzymes to destroy harmful microorganisms that may be present in the food. Fats and oils, or lipids, provide insulation and an energy store for our bodies. Helped by bile from the liver, lipase enzymes break down the lipids into fatty acids and glycerol, so they can be stored.

Epidermal cells, xylem, phloem, and connective tissue work together to make a leaf. This is an example of a(n) _________.
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

A. Organ

Explanation:

Leaf is an essential part of plant that is involved in photosynthesis and also in exchange of gases. It is made up of epidermis, which is thick one, and is present at lower and upper surface of leaf. Between upper and lower epidermis, mesophyll is present while cuticle is present outside of the epidermis. Xylem and phloem and other connective tissues are arranged in the leaf in such way that it maintains the shape as well as effective transfer of nutrients and water in the leaf. Leaf is an organ, made up of all these tissues to form a complex structure.

Which of the following statements about seed formation in a flowering plant is true?
9966 [12]

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

A seed is a small embryonic plant bounded in a casing called the seed coat. It is often enclosed with some food as well. The seed is comprised of the embryo and the tissue from the mother-plant, which is the plant the seed stems from. The mother-plant can also sprout a funnel around the seed in coniferous plants. The ripened ovule of gymnosperm and angiosperm plants is what matures into the seed. This ensues after fertilization. The seed is produced in the fruits of the plants. The process of seed formation starts with double fertilization in the angiosperm. It requires the fusion of the egg and sperm to produce a zygote. Next, the fusion of the nuclei with a second sperm cell nucleus occurs and forms a primary endosperm. The zygote produced at the beginning of the process through fertilization remains inactive whereas the primary endosperm goes onto divide at a rapid rate to form the endosperm tissue. This tissue will then be used as food for the new plant and will be used until after germination, which is when the roots will have sprouted. Alternatively, it can also develop into a hard seed coat. The formation of the actual seed happens right at the end of the process of reproduction, after the growth of the flowers and pollination develops.
