The adaptations in which the small intestine make for absorption is the presence of a finger-like structure called villi.

<h3>What is Villi?</h3>

These are finger-like structures found in the small intestine which increase the surface area for absorption.

They possess blood vessel which ensures the nutrients are transported to other parts of the body.

The small intestines are well adapted for absorbing nutrients during digestion by being very long, having villi and microvilli that increase surface area, using muscular contractions to move and mix food, and receiving and housing digestive enzymes and bile that help the breakdown of food.

What term is used to describe 100’s or 1000’s of amino acids chemically combined?
hjlf

Answer:

Polypeptide

Explanation:

Amino acids are the building block and simplest unit of protein molecules. The structural composition of each amino acids is made up of an amine group (-NH2), a carboxylic acid group (-COOH), a hydrogen atom (H) and a R side chain that differentiates every amino acid from one another.

In a reaction process called condensation, amino acids are chemically joined together via the amine group of one and the carboxylic group of another. This process releases water molecule (H20) to form a bond called PEPTIDE bond between the amino acids. Several amino acids in their 100’s or 1000’s that are chemically joined this way forms a POLYPEPTIDE chain, which in turn forms the protein molecule.

Which of the following is TRUE? Species on Earth today are just a fraction of all species that ever lived. The number of species
Orlov [11]

Until recent history,extinctions have always happened gradually and on a small scale.

Explanation:

Extinction occur when environmental factors like natural disaster,habitat fragmentation,over exploitation,global change don't favor the survival of species thus gradually leads to extinction of species.

Some times human activity becomes the major problem for extinction.More over,poor reproduction,decline in population number and genetic inbreeding also leads to extinction.

99% of all species that exist on earth become disappeared.

Evolution leas to speciation which leas to formation of new species but species become extinct when they are unable to survive against competition.
