Hydrolysis reactions are catalyzed by a broad class of enzymes called
hydrolases, which includes __, __, __ (Basics) Right Ans - lipases, proteases,
and nucleases.

another molecule. (Basics) Right Ans - conjugation
Reduction and oxidation reactions involve the transfer of electrons. In __
reaction , a molecule loses electrons (Basics) Right Ans - oxidation
Reduction and oxidation reactions involve the transfer of electrons. In __
reaction, a molecule gains electrons (Basics) Right Ans - reduction
The cells that line the intestines are referred to as the__ which have a
specialized role in the absorption of nutrients (Basics) Right Ans -
intestinal epithelial cells
The kidneys filter the blood and produce a __ which is similar in composition
to plasma. It is this filtrate that will, after modification by the functional units
of the kidneys, form the urine. (Basics) Right Ans - filtrate
One of the main difference between the plasma and the filtrate is that the
filtrate has no __ since they are too large to pass from the plasma to the filtrate
when blood is filtered in the kidneys (Basics) Right Ans - proteins

area of high concentration to an area with low concentration Right Ans -
passive diffusion
__ law states that a higher or grater surface area and a higher of greater
concentration gradient is going to result in a higher rate of diffusion, whereas
