The diaphragm is located at the inferior-most aspect of the ribcage, filling the inferior thoracic aperture. It acts as the floor of the thoracic cavity and the roof of the abdominal cavity. The attachments of diaphragm can be divided into peripheral and central attachments.
Glucose is widely distributed in small amounts in fruits, plant juices and honey. It is commercially produced by the acid or enzyme hydrolysis of grain and root starches. Glucose is of special interest in nutrition because it is the end-product of carbohydrate digestion in all non-ruminant animals including fish.
Hydrolysis reactions are involved in the break down of organic polymers to yield monomer. The reaction involves the splitting of a water molecule each time a bond in the polymer is broken. c. Hydrolysis reactions are very rare because they require specialized enzymes to proceed. d. Hydrolysis reactions are involved in the combining of organic monomers to produce polymers. Each time two monomers come together a water molecule is produced. b.
