The purpose of the digestive system is to break down food into simple molecules that the cells of the body can use.
Food is broken down into its simplest units called monomers. Proteins are broken down into amino acids, fats are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol while carbohydrates are broken down into glucose units.
Glucose is taken in by the cells of the body and through the process of cellular respiration is used to produce the ATP, the form of energy that cells use. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells use glucose to produce energy to power their functions.

Sedaia [141]

Salt is the Inorganic matter.

Option D.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Organic matters are defined as those compounds of carbon expect the carbonates, bicarbonates, cyanides etc. These compounds were primarily thought to be produced only from the living organisms and were unable to be produced in laboratory. But later they were being produced in laboratory too.

Inorganic compounds are all the compounds except the organic ones.

Here, in the question, we see the compounds -

Protein - it's the polymer of amino acids which contain carbon, and isn't carbonates or bicarbonates, cyanides etc.

Carbohydrates and sugars are also similar to proteins which contain carbon and isn't the exceptions. So they are also the organic compounds.

But salt, commonly table salt is sodium chloride which doesn't contain carbon, so is Inorganic.

nikdorinn [45]

The key function of classical conditioning is to allow an organism to learn new species-typical behaviors.
Classical conditioning refers to when two or more different stimuli are joined in order for an organism to learn something it didn't know before. The more you repeat the conditioning, the faster the organism will learn. For example, Pavlov experimented with dogs - each time they were presented with food, they would also hear a bell. So each time dogs heard the bell, they knew that they would be getting food soon.

joja [24]

Answer:

1. My toaster doesn't toast my bread. --> Observation

2. Why doesn't my toaster work? ---> ask questions

3. There is something wrong with the electrical outlet. ---> Hypothesis

4. If there is something wrong with the outlet, my coffeemaker also won't work when plugged into it. ---> Prediction

5. I plug my coffeemaker into the outlet. ---> Experiments

6. My coffeemaker works. ---> Result of experiment

Note: The question is missing some parts. The complete question is given below.

In the example below the scientific method is used to solve an everyday problem. Match each component to the appropriate step in the scientific method:

1. My toaster doesn't toast my bread.

2. Why doesn't my toaster work?

3. There is something wrong with the electrical outlet

4. If there is something wrong with the outlet, my coffeemaker also won't work when plugged into it.

5. I plug my coffeemaker into the outlet.

6. My coffeemaker works.

Explanation:

The scientific method involves the following; observations, ask questions, form a hypothesis, make predictions, design experiment to test the hypothesis, obtain results, analyze results, draw conclusions.

1. My toaster doesn't toast my bread is an observation made by the person.

2. The person then proceeds to asks questions based on the observation; Why doesn't my toaster work?

3. The next step involves making a hypothesis to try to explain the observation; "There is something wrong with the electrical outlet"

4. A prediction is then made, which is an expected outcome if the hypothesis is correct; "If there is something wrong with the outlet, my coffeemaker also won't work when plugged into it".

5. Next, an experiment is conducted to test the hypothesis whether it is true or not; "I plug my coffeemaker into the outlet".

6. Results are obtained from the experiment which in this case is, "My coffeemaker works". The result is then analyzed to see whether it supports the initial hypothesis or not. Depending on the results, new hypothesis is made and further experiments conducted until a conclusion is reached.
