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.

sattari [20]
FEEDBACK MECHANISM is a regulatory mechanism in which presence of certain level of substance promotes or inhibits its further formation.
The regulation of secretion of Thyrocalcitonin from thyroid gland is an example of such feedback control mechanism. It occurs in two ways:

a) When calcium levels are too high, the thyroid detects this and releases calcitonin. calcitonin stimulates the kidneys to release more calcium and it causes bones to absorb more calcium and build more matrix. This is called Negative Feedback Control.

b) In response to a decrease in calcium levels, parathyroid hormone is released, which causes the release of calcium from bone and retention of calcium in the body, and the calcium level rises back to normal. This is called Positive Feedback Control.

Which process do you think offers a greater chance of nondisjunction—mitosis or meiosis? explain your answer
mario62 [17]
Answer: Nondisjunction means that a pair of homologous chromosomes has failed to separate or segregate at anaphase so that both chromosomes of the pair pass to the same daughter cell. This probably occurs most commonly in meiosis, but it may occur in mitosis to produce a mosaic individual.

How have increased carbon dioxide levels and temperatures affected living organisms?
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:  

Carbon dioxide is a gas which is released in the atmosphere as greenhouse gas, burning of fossil fuel, released in respiration process. Rise in the levels of carbon dioxide and other gases has resulted in increase in global temperatures. Increase in carbon dioxide and temperatures are responsible for weather fluctuations and global warming.

Weather fluctuation means untolerated heat and lack of precipitation or rain. Weather fluctuations will affect seasons. Seasons are necessary for maintaining the life cycle of organisms. Inappropriate seasons due to climatic change will affect the life of living organisms.

Global warming is an issue which is mainly due to release of hot heat trapping  gases from green house and other sources, increasing the atmospheric temperature. This will result in melting of ice from glaciers in world. The inhabiting animals living in the glaciers will suffer a lot from this as they cannot tolerate warm climatic conditions.
