When drugs are swallowed, they may be broken down (metabolized) by enzymes and/or absorbed using. transporters in cells found in the small intestine. Grapefruit juice can cause problems with these enzymes. and transporters, causing too much or too little drug in the body. Some drugs, like statins used to lower cholesterol, are broken down by enzymes.
Monocots. Monocotyledonous leaves show a parallel venation and mostly are arrow or band-shaped. Stomata and other epidermal cells are almost always arranged in parallel arrays. These characterics are depicted in the photographs below of maize, papyrus and yucca.How monocotyle leaves develop is further explained in the section on monocot leaf formation.onocotyledonous leaves show a parallel venation and mostly are arrow or band-shaped.

Economically, monocots are perhaps the most important organisms on earth. Our four most important foods -- corn, rice, wheat, and barley -- all come from monocots. Bamboo and palms are a primary source of building materials and fibers in many tropical countries.Sugar cane, pineapples, dates, bananas, and many of our familiar tropical fruits also come from monocots.he Monocotyledonae comprise one-quarter of all flowering plant species. They include some of the largest and most familiar groups of plants, including lilies, orchids, agaves, palms, and grasses.
