The correct answer is: A. A watery mixture of partially digested food released by the stomach into the intestines

Chyme or chymus is formed in the stomach, during the process of digestion (it takes 40 minutes to 3 hours to be produced) , and it is transported to the small intestine-duodenum.

In the beginning of the digestion (in the mouth), mixture of food and saliva called bolus, is formed. Mechanical and chemical breakdown of a bolus creates chime which is ready for the extraction of nutrients from it.

QUESTION 1
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

According to the sliding-filament model of contraction, the muscle contraction occur due to the myosin heads propel the actin myofilaments toward the center of the sarcomere. This pulls the Z disks closer together, shortening  sarcomere and the entire muscle

Explanation:

In the muscle fiber there are two proteins that facilitate the process of contraction, myosin and actin. Myosin is thicker and more abundant than actin, and its interaction is responsible for the process of muscle contraction.

Both molecules, myosin and actin, form bonds -called cross bridges- where the myosin heads produce the mobilization of actin towards the center of the sarcomere. Z discs are associated with actin myofibrils, so they come close, and promote the shortening of the sarcomere.

This process requires the action of calcium ions, which depolarize the muscle cell and consume energy in the form of ATP.

It should be noted that the myosin and actin molecules do not change their length, but their action causes the muscle fibers to shorten during contraction.

If no other changes occurred, how would emigration affect the population density of a group of organisms?​
valentinak56 [21]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>If no other changes occurred emigration would have a negative impact on the population density of a group of organisms. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Emigration is the movement of a part of population out of an area into a new area. </em>It has a negative impact on the population of the old area and positive impact on the population of the new area.

Population density is the population per unit area that is population per square kilometer.

Thus population density will also be negatively affected by emigration. <em>Hence an area that previously was densely populated might become a sparsely populated area due to emigration.  </em>
