I believe the correct answer is that they all are connected to one another.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The digestive system is optimized in order to ensure there is minimal wastage of the much needed nutrients obtained after the process of digestion. One of this optimization is witnessed in the small intestines (ileum). The following are ways the small intestines are optimized:

<h2>Further Explanation:</h2>
  1. The ileum is very long and convoluted in order to slow down the movement of food through it which in the end ensures that absorption takes place effectively since this is the site of absorption of food that has been chemically and mechanically broken down in the mouth, stomach and duodenum.
  2. It has numerous epithelial cells that have been convoluted into troughs and crests forming pits that maximize absorption of food in the small intestines. The epithelial cells of the small intestines also specialize into cells called goblet cells that produce mucus which ensures that the food in the intestines is well lubricated as it goes through it.
  3. The epithelium is also thin enough to ensure that nutrients are absorbed easily into the neighbouring capillary beds through the cell junctions.
  4. The ileum is well vascularized by capillary fenestrations that pick up the already digested food and then the capillaries distribute food to the rest of the body through the circulatory system.
  5. Glucose is part of food that is produced during the process of digestion and diffuses through the epithelium of the small intestines into the capillary bed and to the rest of the body through the circulatory system. In the body, cells convert the energy stored in glucose molecules into ATP via cellular respiraation that the body uses to perform daily activities such as movement.

The small intestine comprises of an external layer called epithelium, from which originates microvilli that are the extensions of the small intestine, which projects in the form of tubes and their prime activity is to give a large surface area of absorption to obtain the majority of nutrients.  

The nutrients obtained by the microvilli are included into the circulatory system, the prime activity of the circulatory system is to carry different constituents like amino acids, glucose, proteins, and other complex components like oxygen and hormones. It also helps in the conduction of various metabolic wastes discharged from the tissues.  

The circulatory system comprises many kinds of capillaries, the most essential of which are arterial capillaries, venous capillaries, and fenestrated capillaries. The fenestrated capillaries are characterized by the pores present in the endothelial cells, which permits small molecules and restricted concentrations of proteins to pass through.  

The most essential nutrient carried during the whole process is glucose. It has been considered as the prime source of energy, which is further hydrolyzed to produce two molecules of ATP. The ATP is known as the energy currency of the cell as it provides energy for different cellular and metabolic procedures essential for life.

I found the exercise on the internet and attached are the descriptions.

Actin filaments:
-"play a role in cleavage furrow formation during cell division"
-"function in muscle contraction"

Microtubles:
-"make up the core of cilia and flagella"
-"are composed of tubulin subunits
-"maintain cell shape by resisting compression"

Intermediate filaments:
-"are not involved in cell motility"
-"fix certain organelles in place"

The​ half-life of​ carbon-14 is 5600 years. If a piece of charcoal made from the wood of a tree shows only ​% of the​ carbon-14
Leokris [45]

Mature and established trees die for a combination of reasons but sudden browning of foliage is typically associated with a lack of water supply to the canopy. Water supply can be cut off to the canopy due to obvious issues including deficiency or root damage.

<h3>What is Carbon?</h3>
  • Carbon is a chemical component with the symbol C and atomic number It is nonmetallic and tetravalent—its atom makes four electrons unrestricted to form covalent chemical bonds. It belongs to group 14 of the periodic table. Carbon produces up only about 0.025 percent of Earth's crust.
  • Carbon is employed in some way in almost every industry around the globe. It is used for fuel in the form of coal, methane gas, and crude oil (which is used to produce gasoline). It is used to make all sorts of fabrics including plastics and alloys such as steel (a mixture of carbon and iron).
  • Carbon is a chemical element with the symbol C and atomic number 6. Categorized as a nonmetal, Carbon is a solid at room temperature.

Use of moist heat can control microbial growth in many circumstances, but heat-sensitive items and those susceptible to moisture
sattari [20]
<h2>Answer is option "b"</h2>

Explanation:

  • Non-ionizing radiation is radiation that has a lower frequency, or longer wavelength, in the EMR spectrum. These frequencies range from that of power lines, radios, and cell phones, up to visible light. Non-ionizing radiation is not powerful enough to break the chemical bonds in molecules. In general, it is not harmful to human health as radiation per se, but could be harmful in terms of the transfer of heat energy. An example of an emitter of non-ionizing radiation is a microwave oven.
  • Non-ionizing radiation is less harmful because the rays carry much less energy. Radio waves, light, and even heat are examples of non-ionizing radiation. For the most part, these kinds of radiation do not cause any damage. However, ultraviolet light is a kind of non-ionizing radiation that can be harmful - it can cause mutations in DNA
  • Non-ionizing radiation is limited to the lower energy range electromagnetic radiation, which is more commonly known as light. However, the light we can see with our eyes, visible light, is only a small section of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum as seen here
  • Hence the right answer is option "b"

How are producers and consumers alike
Leona [35]

Answer:

The producers generate food for themselves and others; consumers do not produce anything, instead eating producers, other consumers or both. Organisms that eat only producers (i.e., plants) are called herbivores. Animals that eat only consumers (i.e., meat) are called carnivores
