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.

Romashka [77]

1. Cellular respiration does not consume carbon dioxide (CO2).

Cellular respiration is a process by which plants produce energy. It consists of anaerobic (without O2) and aerobic phase(with the presence of O2). During the cellular respiration chemical energy derived from the nutrients (like glucose) is transformed into energy molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

2. Unlike photosynthesis, cellular respiration occurs in all eukaryotic organisms (photosynthesis only in plants and some microorganisms). The processes of cellular respiration occur in cytosol (glycolysis) and in the mitochondrion of a cell (Krebs cycle and electron transport chain).

Because Darwin did not know about the work of Gregor Mendel, he could not explain how organisms pass heritable traits to their o
anastassius [24]

Explanation:

Both Darwin and Mendel proposed their theory at the same time but they never communicated with each other. They both explained the population and studied the variation between them and in them.

The variation within a population could be of two types: the discontinuous traits and the quantitative trait.

A discrete trait refers to a trait that is usually controlled by only one gene that is only two alleles or two variants are observed in the population whereas the quantitative trait is a trait that can be determined by more than one gene like the variation in height.
