Answer:

stomach

Explanation:

as the muscles contract together in order to digest the food and also there are enzymes in the stomach that helps digest the food

Answer:

1. Mouth

4. Stomach

Explanation:

  • The mouth and the stomach are both sites of mechanical and chemical digestion of food.

Digestion in the Mouth:

  • In the mouth, the teeth grind and mash the food into smaller pieces that aid in proper digestion.
  • Saliva produced in the mouth contains the carbohydrate digesting enzyme, salivary amylase.

Digestion in the Stomach:

  • In the stomach, protein is mainly digested by the combined action of low pH, protease enzymes like pepsin and the contraction of the muscles of the stomach.
  • Pepsin breaks down protein in the presence of stomach acids.
  • The muscles of the stomach contract and relax and aid in mixing the enzymes and acid together, consequently, aiding in digestion.

How many atoms are in this picture?<br> Na3C6H507
olganol [36]

Answer:

Explanation:

Trisodium citrate has the chemical formula of Na3C6H5O7. It is sometimes referred to simply as "sodium citrate", though sodium citrate can refer to any of the three sodium salts of citric acid. It possesses a saline, mildly tart flavor. It is mildly basic and can be used along with citric acid to make biologically compatible buffers

Sodium citrate is chiefly used as a food additive, usually for flavor or as a preservative. Its E number is E331. Sodium citrate is employed as a flavoring agent in certain varieties of club soda. It is common as an ingredient in bratwurst, and is also used in commercial ready-to-drink beverages and drink mixes, contributing a tart flavor. It is found in gelatin mix[clarification needed], ice cream, yogurt, jams, sweets, milk powder, processed cheeses, carbonated beverages, and wine[citation needed], amongst others.

Challenge: A chemical equation is balanced when each side of the equation includes the same number of each type of atom.
nirvana33 [79]
If the reactants are the same the equations are balance but if the reactants are not the same you have to make them balance, however if the reactants are not balance  in order to balance the equation you need to use coefficient to balance the reactants and products of particular chemical reaction.
yet for Photosynthesis the equation 
CO_2 + H_2O => C_6H_12O_6 + H_2O + O_2
Find the ugliest Compound in equation and do not balance first the repetitive Element.
A)So the ugliest one is C_6H_12O_6 and the C is not repetitive and have six atoms so there fore we multiply 6 as coefficient with carbon dioxide.
6CO₂+ H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆+H₂O+O₂ but oxygen will get 12 atoms because is to all Carbon dioxide.
B) Then we have carbon balanced then we are going to balance Hydrogen, yet on product side it have 14 but on the reactant side it have 2 but Oxygen on product side is 9 there but on reactant side we have 1 so there fore we have to multiply water on reactant side by 12 and on product side multiply water with six and in addition multiply oxygen with 6 which land you at:
6CO₂+ 12H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆+6H₂O+6O₂.
so we will have 24 hydrogen and 24 oxygen on both sides. 
Hope that helps you.

I'm working on a lab report on water erosion on edg lol
melomori [17]

Some facts about Water erosion :

Water erosion is the detachment and removal of soil material by water. The process may be natural or accelerated by human activity. ... Water erosion wears away the earth's surface. Sheet erosion is the more-or-less uniform removal of soil from the surface.

Water and Wind Erosion (cause)

Water erosion is the removal of soil by water and transportation of the eroded materials away from the point of removal. Water action due to rain erodes the soil and causes activities like gully, rill, and stream erosion leading to the downstream effects of flooding and sedimentation.

Explain how genetic mutations are introduced into a population of organisms.
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

The flow of individuals in and out of a population introduces new alleles and increases genetic variation within that population. Mutations are changes to an organism's DNA that create diversity within a population by introducing new alleles.

I hope it's helpful!
