Red Blood Cells are approximately 0.01 mm, so only one can pass through the small capillary. The advantage of this is that there is a larger surface area exposed, more time available and shorter difference for exchange of oxygen.

This group of enzymes digests the majority of ingested fat.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Undigested fats include all those fatty acid and lipids which do not have the ability to dissolve in water. This inability makes them difficult elements for digestion. All this undigested fat accumulates and reaches the intestine for digestion as globs. Globs are emulsified by the bile salts and are broken down into smaller fat droplets. The smaller fat droplets have large surface area and hence now they can be acted upon by the fat-digesting enzyme pancreatic lipase. Thus, the first set of enzymes that act upon the undigested fats in the intestine are pancreatic lipase

Hence, option A is correct

When two hormones must be present to achieve full expression of an effect, that interaction is called ______________.

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Synergism

Explanation:

Synergism means cooperation, and is a term of Greek origin (synergy). Synergy is a work or effort to accomplish a certain very complex task, and to be able to succeed in the end. Synergy is the moment when the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

In physiology, synergism occurs when the effect of two or more combined chemical agents is greater than the sum of individual effects. Concerning hormones, synergism happens when two hormones must be present for the full expression of an effect. That is, two hormones act for a certain purpose.

Example: FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and estrogen cause oocyte maturation, but this only occurs if neither acts in isolation.
