Speculate as to what advantage(s) a complete digestive system has over an incomplete digestive system?

Biology

tester [92]2 years ago
5 0

Animals with a single opening in the digestive tract have an incomplete digestive system (cnidarians, Platyhelminthes). the digestive tract of animals with a complete digestive system has two openings—a mouth and an anus—instead of one (including all other animal phyla, with the exception of poriferans, which do not have any digestive tract).

Digestion is confused in animals with inadequate digestive systems. The extracellular space is where it starts, and the intracellular space is where it ends. Extracellular digestion dominates in the digestive tract of animals with full digestive systems.

Animals with full digestive systems have an advantage because they can optimize the benefits of digestion and better absorb nutrients.

Peristalsis moves the food in a full digestive tract. The ability to absorb nutrients to their fullest potential is one benefit of having a fully functional digestive system. Two holes instead of one make up the entire digestive tract. All mammals, including bears, squirrels, and dogs, have full digestive systems. Peristalsis moves the food in a full digestive tract. The ability to absorb nutrients to their fullest potential is one benefit of having a fully functional digestive system.

Which of the following statements about ATP-powered pumps is NOT true? All ATP-powered pumps contain at least one transmembrane
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Only P-, F-, and V-class pumps transport ions.

Explanation:

The distinct classes of ATPases include:

1) Only the P-type ATPase actively transports ions across biological membranes. P-ATPases (also named E1-E2 ATPases) are found both in plasma and organelle membranes. These ATPases serve to transport ions and phospholipids by hydrolyzing ATP to ADP and phosphate.

2) A- and F-ATPases synthesize ATP by transforming the energy from a gradient of ions across the cell membrane.

3) V-ATPase (also known as Vacuolar-H+ ATPases) acidifies vacuole, lysosome, endosome and Golgi membranes. This type of ATPase couples the hydrolysis of ATP to the active transport of protons across biological membranes.

4) E-ATPases hydrolyze extracellular ATP.

What part of a plant is needed to propagate a new plant?
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

a stem or a leaf

Explanation:

Cuttings can be made from any part of the plant. Most frequently, however, either a stem or leaf is used. A stem cutting includes a piece of stem plus any attached leaves or buds. Thus, the stem cutting only needs to form new roots to be a complete, independent plant.
