Explanation:
Answer:
Please find the explanation below
Explanation:
Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) are two electrolytes that play important role in the absorption of water and nutrients in the small intestine. However, as mentioned in the question, the release of sodium and chlorine would lead to a loss of water in the intestines. This is because of the OSMOTIC phenomenon.
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of high concentration of water/low concentration of solute to a region of low concentration of water/high concentration of solute via a semipermeable membrane. In this case, the Na+ and Cl- ions serve as the solutes, which when released out of the intestine causes the solution in the intestines to be HYPOTONIC compared to the intestinal environment. This causes an OSMOTIC GRADIENT.
This osmotic gradient i.e. difference in concentration provokes osmotic flow of water from the intestines, which has a low solute/high water concentration, to the outside of the intestines, which has a high solute/low water concentration. Hence, water is lost from the intestine because the solute concentration becomes low when sodium and chlorine ions are released.

Answer:
B: The shorter and more rounded the Appalachian Mountains are more than four times older than the taller and more jagged Rocky Mountains
Explanation:
- The Appalachian mountains form a system of mountains in eastern North America and are older than rocky mountains as they were formed 480 million years ago and are similar to those of the alps. They form a barrier to the east to the west.
- They extend to southeast Canada and form zones of 300 miles wide. They form the mountain ranges surrounding hills and the dissected plateaus forming at an elevation of 6,684 meters from the sea level. <u>Whereas the rocky mountains are younger and have an elevation of 4,401 meters.</u>
