In the pancreas, lipase converts fat to:
amino acids |
|
simple sugars |
|
glycerol and fatty acids |
|
complex carbohydrates |
The acids produced by the pancreas contain several enzymes that aid in digestion. Lipase converts fat to glycerol and fatty acids. Pancreatic amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. Trypsin converts polypeptides (the building blocks of protein) into amino acids.
The large intestine does which of the following?
processes the physical waste produced by digestion |
|
breaks down proteins |
|
breaks down starches |
|
breaks down fats |
The large intestine (colon) follows the small intestine and processes the physical waste produced by digestion, absorbing water and minerials that remain back into the body. Solid waste is then stored in the rectum while liquid waste is stored in the bladder.
The first step in the water cycle is:
evaporation |
|
precipitation |
|
reclamation |
|
infiltration |
The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.
