Solar energy, which is an abiotic factor, by the way, enters the ecosystem through the process of photosynthesis. ... The organisms in an ecosystem that capture the sun's electromagnetic energy and convert it into chemical energy are called producers. Btw I’m in middle school lol
Answer:
The correct answer would be a small intestine.
The small intestine is the principal organ of digestion as well as absorption.
Events take place in the small intestine:
- Intestinal enzymes such as maltase, lactase, sucrase et cetera digest disaccharides to their respective monosaccharides such as glucose, fructose, galactose.
- Dipeptides are digested to amino acids.
- Intestinal lipases convert di and triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerols.
- Lastly, nucleotide and nucleoside are converted their respective sugars and bases.
- The digested food is then absorbed with the help of diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport.
- The mucosa layer of small intestine consists of finger-like projections called villi and microvilli.
- They increase the surface area of the small intestine and help in absorbing the digested food.
- They then transport the absorbed materials to the bloodstream through capillaries and lymphatic vessels lying close to their surface.
Protozoa are single-celled eukaryotes that share some traits with animals. Like animals, they can move, and they are heterotrophs. That means they eat things outside of themselves instead of producing their own food
