Food is moved through the digestive tract by a sequence of wave-like muscle contractions called peristalsis.

<h3>What is digestive tract?</h3>
  • The digestive system of the human body is made up of the gastrointestinal tract and additional digestive organs (the tongue, salivary glands, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder).
  • In order for food to be absorbed and incorporated into the body, it must first be broken down into smaller and smaller components during digestion.
  • Cephalic, gastric, and intestine phases make up the three stages of the digestive process.
  • Gastric gland secretions in reaction to the sight and smell of food start the initial stage of digestion, known as the cephalic phase.
<h3>What is peristalsis?</h3>
  • Peristalsis is the contraction of the muscles. is the contraction and relaxation of radially symmetric muscles that travels anterogradely down a tube in the form of a wave.
  • In the lining of the gut, a simultaneous contraction of the longitudinal muscle and relaxation of the circular muscle is followed by a coordinated contraction of involuntary circular muscles known as peristalsis.

Using the table on the right as a guide, answer the following questions about light-independent reactions.
Eddi Din [679]

The products of light-independent reactions include the following:

  • Glucose
  • NADP+
  • Water (H₂O).

<h3>What is photosynthesis?</h3>

Photosynthesis can be defined as a biological and chemical process through which living organisms such as green plants (autotrophs) convert light energy (sunlight) received from the Sun into chemical energy, in order to enable them make their food.

<h3>The stages of photosynthesis.</h3>

In Science, there are (2) main reactions that make up the process of photosynthesis and these include following:

  1. Light-dependent reactions.
  2. Light-independent reactions.

<h3>What are light independent reactions?</h3>

Light independent reactions can be defined as a type of photosynthetic reaction that occurs in the stroma of the chloroplasts and it requires the following necessary inputs:

  • Carbon dioxide
  • Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
  • NADPH

Additionally, NADPH, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and oxygen are the outputs (end products) of photosynthesis.

In this context, we can reasonably infer and logically deduce that glucose, water (H₂O), and NADP+ constitute the products of every light independent reactions.

The chart below shows the three main types of plant tissues and associated tissues. mc003-1.jpg Which row (A, B, C, or D) best c
katrin [286]
I found the exercise on the internet. Attached is the chart and the rows. On the left we have "plant tissue", then on the middle top - "dermal" - and just below - "ground". Straight in front of "ground", the term is "c<span>ollenchyma".

The correct row would be D.
1. is vascular because that's the other type of plant tissue besides the ones that are already present in the chart.
2. and 3. - s</span>clerenchyma and parenchyma - are indeed types of ground tissues next to collenchyma.
4. and 5. - x<span>ylem and phloem - are the types of tissues present in vascular plants, they work as vessels where water and nutrients are conducted.</span>
