Biology

Eddi Din [679]3 years ago
7 0

The principle of faunal succession states that fossil, animal and plant groups occur in the geological record according to an invariable and determined order, so that, if this order is known, it is possible to determine the relative age of the layers from their fossiliferous content. That is, according to this principle, fossil is equal to time. This principle was initially used as a practical instrument, but years later was explained by Darwin's theory of evolution: Since there is an irreversible biological evolution across geological time, fossils must be ordered in time on an evolutionary scale.

The journey of the food through the digestive system will actually digest the food. The rest will be given out as feces.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The digestive system actually consists of digestive tract and Digestive glands. The processes that are associated with digestive system is - ingestion, digestion, absorption, assimilation and egestion.

The food that is taken is first smashed and chewed into a rough bolus by mixing with saliva. The salivary amylase slightly digests the starch into dextrin.

Then the food is engulfed through the oesophagus into stomach. Inside stomach, the food is mixed with an enzyme pepsin and HCl. Pepsin digests the proteins into peptones and peptides. The food is converted into a bolus and transported into duodenum.

In duodenum, there are several enzymes from small intestine and pancreas breaks the fats into fatty acids, proteins into peptides and starch into carbohydrates like glucose. They are absorbed and the undigested substances are left over ad feces.
