Segmentation is a squeezing motion of the circular layer of smooth muscle in the small intestine.

<h3>What is segmentation in the small intestine?</h3>

Segmentation, which mostly affects the small intestine, is made up of localized contractions of the Gastro-Intestinal tract's circular muscle. These contractions separate out little portions of the intestine, allowing their contents to move back and forth while being continuously divided, broken up, and mixed.

Our intestines' circular muscles contract during segmentation to churn food back and forth, rather like a washing machine. This churning helps break down food into tiny bits for digestion by allowing it to mix with gastric secretions in the intestines. By bringing chyme into contact with the intestinal walls during segmentation, the technique also helps to increase absorption.

it has said that bacteria set the stage for other life forms to evolve on earth. what do you think is meant by that statement
3241004551 [841]

The statement, <em>“Bacteria set the stage for other life forms to evolve on earth” </em>was made probably because Earth was populated exclusively by single-celled organisms (Archaea and Bacteria) at the time that it was oxygenated, and only one of these can perform photosynthesis that separates a water molecule and results in oxygen gas, which is called Cyanobacteria, which has a blue-green color that comes from chlorophyll. Today, Cyanobacteria can practically be found everywhere on Earth, possibly in the soil right outside your door, and still play a vital role in producing the oxygen that we breathe. Another reason could be, billions of years ago, single-celled creatures had the planet to themselves. Then, they established different ways for cells to share and communicate resources. These intricate and complex multicellular creatures were the very first animals, and they were totally a major success. Consequently, animal life evolved about 540 million years ago.

What is the albedo effect?<br><br> Do you think the earth is warming up?
meriva

Answer: Astronomers define the reflectivity of an object in space using a term called albedo. This is the amount of electromagnetic radiation that reflects away, compared to the amount that gets absorbed.

Explanation: But to answer the "Earth warming up" question, I'd have to say that for over millions of years, Earth's climate has warmed up and cooled down many times. However, today the planet is warming much faster than it has over human history. Global air temperatures near Earth's surface have gone up about 2 degrees Fahrenheit in the last century. However, other evidence suggests that the period of 2,000 to 3,000 million years ago was generally colder and more glaciated than the last 500 million years.

So, yes I do believe that the Earth is warming up but not to explode.
