Introduction: Absorption can be defined as a process of uptake of nutrients into the circulatory system of the body. The process of absorption occurs after the digestion of food.

Answer to Problem 1TY
Correct answer: An animal absorb nutrients from recently ingested meal during the absorptive state. Hence, the correct answer is option c.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct answer:
The absorptive stage includes the ingestion of various nutrients into the blood from the alimentary canal. During this state, ingested minerals and nutrients play an important role in the supply of energy to the body.
Option c. is given as “absorbing nutrients from a recently ingested meal”.
Recently ingested meal supplies energy during the absorbing state of an animal. Hence, the correct answer is option c.
Reasons for incorrect answer:
Option a. is given as, “fasting”.
Fasting can be defined as a state of abstaining from having food items. During this state, nutrient is not absorbed at all. Hence, option a. is incorrect.
Option b. is given as, “relying entirely on stored molecules for energy”.
Animals rely on stored molecules for energy in fasting state instead of the absorptive state. Hence, option b. is incorrect.
Option d. is given as, “
The process of metabolizing stored lipids in adipose tissues for supplying ATP occurs during fasting state and not during the absorptive state. Hence, option d. is incorrect.
Option e. is given as, “doing both a and b”.
During absorptive state, an animal obtained energy from the ingested meal and not during fasting state. The process of metabolizing stored lipids in adipose tissues for supplying ATP occurs during fasting state. Hence, option e. is incorrect.
Hence, the options a., b., d., and e. are incorrect.
With the absorption nutrients from the recently ingested food during the absorptive state, an organism is able to meet the energy requirements.

Describe one way by which Nodal gets amplified in this region." My understanding of this is that there are a few ways nodal is amplified though I'm not sure if this is specifically occurs on the opposite side of the AVE. 1. pronodal cleaved by protease -> active nodal 2. Nodal -> BMP4 -> Wnt-> nodal 3. Nodal-> Nodal, Fox1 binding site 4. BMP4 on outside-> nodal Are all of these occuring opposite to AVE?arrow_forward

What is the phenotype, and why is the phenotype so similar? Is the phenotype going to be that there is a disruption of the formation of the neural tube for both of these because bottle cell formation is necessary for the neural plate to fold in forming the neural tube and Shroom3 is further needed to close the neural plate? So since both Plekhg5 and Shroom3 are used in forming the neural tube, injecting the mRNA will just lead to neural tube deformity?arrow_forward
