Does not chewing food properly contribute to weight gain?

Yes, not chewing food properly can contribute to weight gain because it can lead to overeating and poor digestion, which may affect the body's ability to properly absorb nutrients and regulate appetite.


How prolonged chewing affect digestion of carbohydrates and proteins?

Prolonged chewing breaks down food into smaller particles, increasing surface area for digestive enzymes to work on. This can enhance digestion of carbohydrates by facilitating the action of amylase on starches. For proteins, prolonged chewing may not have as significant an effect, as protein digestion primarily occurs in the stomach via pepsin and in the small intestine with the help of proteases.


The greater the the pulse pressure the lower the pressure gradient driving blood from the aorta through the systemic circulation?

This statement is not accurate. Pulse pressure is the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure and is related to the elasticity of arteries. It does not directly affect the pressure gradient driving blood through the systemic circulation, which is mainly determined by the overall systemic vascular resistance.


The circulation of blood through the vascular system is influenced by?

The circulation of blood through the vascular system is influenced by factors such as blood pressure, heart rate, blood viscosity, and vascular resistance. These factors play a significant role in maintaining adequate blood flow to all tissues and organs in the body. Any imbalance in these factors can affect overall cardiovascular health.


What do DNA mutations directly affect?

It will affect protein synthesis. mRNA uses DNA (a gene) as a template and mRNA is a template to join amino acids together. If the DNA sequence (gene) is changed, the mRNA will be changed, and the polypeptides will be changed - usually with harmful consequences. Proteins produce phenotypes in organisms, so a mutation in DNA causes abnormalities.
