Only 10 calories did the bird actually absorb when there is a total of 1000 calories were stored in a plant chamber.

<h3>What is Calorie?</h3>

A calorie may be defined as a unit of energy that we get from food products and burn during a physical workout.

According to the 10% law given by Lindeman, if a plant chamber consists of 1000 cal., the amount of energy transferred to herbivores is 10% of 1000 which is 100 calories.

Similarly, the 10% of 100 cal., gets transferred to the next trophic level which is carnivores or secondary consumers. The 10% of 100 is 10 calories.

Therefore, only 10 calories did the bird actually absorb when there is a total of 1000 calories were stored in a plant chamber.

The lengthy small intestine receives secretions from the ____________ and ____________, completes digestion of the nutrients in
vitfil [10]

Answer:The lengthy small intestine receives secretions from the ______pancrease______ and ______liver______, completes digestion of the nutrients in _________chyme_______, absorbs the products of digestion, and transports the remaining residues to the ________large________ intestine.

Explanation: digestion of food is necessary for absorption of nutrients. In this process food is broken down into forms that can be absorbed by the body . food is broken down by the teeth and the enzymes in saliva,when it is in the mouth. From there it moves to the stomach through the oesophagus. In the stomach, the content is further mixed with enzymes and the churning breaks down food further.From the stomach food moves to the small intestine. In the small intestine, digestive enzymes from the pancreas and liver acts on food. The small intestine is where digested food is absorbed.it has a large surface area and finger-like projection called villi to carry out the function of absorbing nutrients.

From there, undigested food us passed to the large intestine from where it is passed out through the anus
