Correct Answer: Specific enzymes breakdown proteins into amino acids

Explanation:

Protein digestion occurs in the stomach and duodenum in which 3 main enzymes:

 

1. Pepsin secreted by the stomach 

2. Trypsin and

3. Chymotrypsin secreted by the pancreas

 

Break down food proteins into polypeptides that are then broken down by various exopeptidases and dipeptidases into amino acids.

Correct Answer: biochemical reactions involved in building cell molecules or breaking down molecules for energy

Explanation:

Metabolism (from Greek: ???????? metabol?, "change") is the set of life-sustaining chemical transformations within the cells of organisms. The three main purposes of metabolism are the conversion of food/fuel to energy to run cellular processes, the conversion of food/fuel to building blocks for proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and some carbohydrates, and the elimination of nitrogenous wastes.

In brief, the chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life is called metabolism.

Correct Answer: Gamma

Explanation:

Cobalt therapy or cobalt-60 therapy is the medical use of gamma rays from the radioisotope cobalt-60 to treat conditions such as cancer.

 

Cobalt 60 is a synthetic radioactive isotope of cobalt with a half-life of 5.2714 years. It is produced artificially in nuclear reactors.

Correct Answer: TRUE

Correct Answer: judgement

Correct Answer: Coal is chemically complex fuel Whenever it is burned, gases are given off and particles of ash, called "fly ash," are released Release of sulfur from burning into the air The sulfur in coal combines with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide, which can be a major source of air pollution if emitted in large enough quantities This stuff comes back as acid rain when it attaches itself to a raindrop Today, many of the effects of coal burning have been reduced significantly or eliminated This is super-nasty and is only stopped by buying low-sulfur coal from Montana or Wyoming The eastern power plants have to pay to move the coal from out west and this increases the price of power production

Correct Answer: Blood

Explanation:

The main function of the pulmonary alveoli is to perform the transfer and exchange of gases. Here in the given options, blood is only one which is not gas.

 

Hence, blood is not transferred by alveoli.

Correct Answer: 120/80
