Stomach

In the stomach, enzymes break down food such as carbohydrates, protein and fats, so that nutrients can be absorbed farther down the GI tract, according to the National Digestive Disease Information Clearinghouse. The stomach mixes and churns foods to slowly release into the small intestine. Liquids empty the quickest, in one to two hours, and solid food takes about two to three hours to transit out of the stomach.

How does upwelling affect coastal fisheries?
Bess [88]

Answer:

Upwelling improves the nutrient supply at coastal fisheries as the cold, nutrient-rich water replaces the warm, nutrient-poor surface water

Explanation:

The upwelling is simply the process through which the cold water rises up toward the surface, pushes and moves away the warmer water, until it gets warmer and is pushed by the colder water blow it. The cold water that rises toward the surface is nutrient-rich, while the warm surface water is nutrient-poor. By having the nutrient-rich cold water come toward the surface, the coastal fisheries have great benefit, as the more nutrients there are, the more fish there will be for them to catch.

I’m guessing your dog pee story is probably one of waiting: Waiting while your dog checks out another dog’s pee, or waiting while your dog leaves a deposit. And who hasn’t experienced the occasional, “Ack! Why did you pee there?!?” followed by a cleaning session. But if you’ve ever gazed at a peeing dog and asked yourself any number of “Why” questions, Betty McGuire is the person for you.
