The insulin would be broken down by the digestive enzymes before it could reach the bloodstream
horrorfan [7]2 years ago

Answer:

It will be broken down before reaching the bloodstream by the stomach enzymes.

Explanation:

Insulin is always injected in the blood stream so that it can directly act on the blood glucose levels and cause a decrease in it. It cannot be given through oral route as it will be broken down by the gastric enzymes thus it cannot enter the blood stream and cannot control blood glucose levels.

Elis [28]

Answer: Option B

Explanation: First we should understand the role of enzyme and acid here. Pepsin is an enzyme which will break down proteins into simple monomers (like amino acids). And, acid causes digestion which means it will break down the protein into its respective elements and compounds. Water will act as a control in this experiment.

Option B is correct because it has all three criteria-                                                                                   1. Control [water + protein]                                                                                                               2. With enzyme [egg white + pepsin]                                                                                           3. With acid and enzyme

So this will give us an idea whether pepsin alone is breaking down the protein or digesting it. And there would be difference in test tube B and C. So this will clear the difference.

Option A is incorrect because it has not mentioned any different test tube for checking what happened with the protein. And, Option C is incorrect because mass of egg white will remain same after digestion also.

Which of the following processes and organelles account for the replacement of lipids and proteins lost from the plasma membrane
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Vesicles (Exocytosis),RER (Rough ER) and SER(Smooth ER)

Explanation:

Vesicles are a small structure consisting of a lipid bilayer. They are form naturally during the process of secretion (exocytosis) and up take of nutrients (phagocytosis) and transport materials within the cytoplasm. Vesicles binds with the plasma membrane to release its content outside of cell.

Endoplasmic reticulum

It’s a series of interlinked sacs and tubules modifies proteins and synthesizes lipids.However, the synthesis of proteins and lipids carried out in two different regions of endoplasmic reticulum that is rough ER and Smooth ER. Ribosomes transfer their synthesize proteins into the lumen of the RER where they modify proteins. It also makes phospholipids for cellular membranes

The SER is continuous with the RER and its role is to synthesize lipids, carbohydrates, and steroid hormones. Detoxifies poisons and store calcium ions...
