The digestive system breaks down food molecules into their component parts, which are then absorbed by the circulatory system in the small intestine and circulated throughout the body. The digestive system diffuses nutrients into the capillaries and then through the circulatory system. The small intestine has folds called villi, and the villi contain tiny projections called microvilli. The microvilli absorb nutrients from digested food and transport it directly into the bloodstream where it can be used. Without the circulatory system, the body would not be able to absorb nutrients from the food we eat.
The circulatory system supplies the organs with blood and oxygen to keep them alive. Oxygen travels throughout the body including the digestive system. Like any organ, the digestive system requires more oxygen when metabolically active, for example after a meal. In addition, the digestive system plays a role in the acid-base balance in the body. Since H+ + HC03- exchanges with H20 and C02 within the intestine there is a production of carbon dioxide from the gut to the lungs.
The bloodstream carries nutrients that are broken by the digestive system from the food you eat. The circulatory system provides nutrients and oxygen to the organs of the digestive system.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Animals derive energy by eating plants or animals and using cellular respiration to make ATP. Plants capture energy from the sun via photosynthesis and make sugar and oxygen. They can then use the sugar to perform cellular respiration to derive energy.
Hi!
The correct option would be A. There's lower biodiversity among birds
Biodiversity refers to the variety of organisms (species) that inhabit a particular place, such as in our case different species of birds.
From the graph we can see that over time, the bird species are declining. From roughly 1700 bird species, the number has fallen to about 200 bird species by the middle of the fourth year.
Hence, we can deduce, and it would be accurate to say, that there is a relatively lower biodiversity amongst the birds with regard to that in the beginning.
Option B is incorrect because if the birds had a higher reproductive rate, they would be able to make up for the loss of bird species from the habitat. From the graph, we can assume that there's a moderately low reproductive rate among the birds.
Option C is incorrect because we do not know the affect of this pollution on the producers (photosynthesizing plant lifeforms). It may be possible that they might be declining, but we cannot conclude that solely from the graph.
Hope this helps!
The answer is (d.) Some scientists believe that prions, tiny proteins much smaller than a cell, that can replicate themselves may be living organisms.
Prions are like viruses, they are not alive making statement B to be true. Prions lack the ability to grow and reproduce. they are dependent on the living cells to replicate. Statement A is absolutely correct while Statement C is somehow wrong. According to scientists, the accurate count of cells in a human is 37.2 Trillion.
