6.1.1 Explain why digestion of large food molecules is essential. There are two reasons why the digestion of large food molecules is vital. Firstly‚ the food we eat is made up of many compounds made by other organisms which are not all suitable for human tissues and therefore these have to be broken down and reassembled so that our bodies can use them. Secondly‚ the food molecules have to be small enough to be absorbed by the villi in the intestine through diffusion‚ facilitated diffusion or active

Effects of Temperature‚ pH‚ Enzyme Concentration‚ and Substrate Concentration on Enzymatic Activity INTRODUCTION Enzymes‚ proteins that act as catalysts‚ are the most important type of protein[1]. Catalysts speed up chemical reactions and can go without being used up or changed [3] Without enzymes‚ the biochemical reactions that take place will react too slowly to keep up with the metabolic needs and the life functions of organisms. Catecholase is a reaction between oxygen and catechol

Chemical Reactions and Equations Chemical Reaction: The transformation of chemical substance into another chemical substance is known as Chemical Reaction. For example: rusting of iron‚ setting of milk into curd‚ digestion of food‚ respiration‚ etc. In chemical reaction new substance is formed which is completely different in properties from the original substance‚ so in a chemical reaction chemical change takes place. Following are the signs of chemical reaction: (a) Change of state of substance

Digestion of lipid does not occur in the mouth and stomach because enzymes that would aid the digestion are not present there. The major organ for the digestion of lipids in the small intestine because the pancreas is the primary source of lipid-digesting enzymes (lipase).

Question 1 How much business risk does AHP face? How much financial risk would AHP face at each of the proposed levels of debt shown in case Exhibit 3? Answer these questions by computing and evaluating the asset beta and the equity beta. To start with‚ we have to state the difference between business risk and financial risk. Business risk represents the risk of the firm’s assets when no debt is used. It is then the risk that is inherent to the firm’s operations. This risk is represented by

Chemistry of Garlic - Key Compounds in Garlic Although garlic has been traditionally used for over 5‚000 years‚ most scientific significance has just been developed in the past 50 years. The key compounds in garlic and its preparations include the following phytochemicals. Sulfur-containing compounds Recently‚ researchers have been focusing on the benefits of a variety of sulfur-containing compounds in garlic instead of allicin. These are classified as oil- and water-soluble compounds. Oil-soluble
