Answer: Hydrochloric acid is responsible for the acidic medium of the stomach, it creates an optimum acidity in the stomach. HCl makes digestion easy in the stomach.

How digestion of food takes place in our digestion system?

  • The process of the breakdown of the food into simpler and soluble particles is called digestion.
  • Teeth convert the food into pieces so that they can digest easily.
  • In the mouth, saliva converts starch into soluble sugar.
  • After the mouth, the bolus of the food goes into the stomach, where the food is partially digested.
  • Partially digested food is completely digested in the small intestine.
  • Undigested food passes into the large intestine, from where the waste product is excreted out through the rectum and anus.

Explanation: The stomach wall releases hydrochloric acid, which makes the medium of the stomach acidic to kill the germ that enters the stomach and activates the pepsin enzyme.

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Phosphate sugar backbone:                                                                                              

The sugar-phosphate backbone forms the structural framework of nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA. This backbone is composed of alternating sugar and phosphate groups, and defines directionality of the molecule.

Nitrogenous base:                                                                                              

Nitrogen bases are the molecules that make up the steps of the ladders. There are four different nitrogen bases, namely; Guanine, Thymine,Adenine and Cytosine.

Pyrimidines are compounds that make a single 6-sided ring. Examples of pyrimidines are Cytosine and Thymine.

Purines on the other hand make 5-sided and 6-sided rings. Examples of purines are Guanine and Adenine.

The nitrogen bases are helped together through hydrogen bonds.

Hydrogen Bonds:

A weak bond between two molecules resulting from an electrostatic attraction between a proton in one molecule and an electronegative atom in the other.

How is the cell structure related to its function in your body
Nastasia [14]

<span>A cell with a large surface area or with microvilli (which increase surface area) are specialized for absorption. Many cells have different protein markers on their surface to accept certain specific hormones and allow them into the cell, like muscle cells reacting to adrenaline. Muscle cells are long and able to contract, allowing for overall muscle contraction and body movement. </span>

<span>I guess the hormone part I mentioned applies to chemicals; endocrine cells produce hormones that other cells would not. </span>

<span>For organelles, muscle cells don't have many of the organelles that other cells do because of their very specialized functions. </span>

<span>I hope this helps, it would literally take volumes of text books to answer this question completely.</span>
