Answer:

1. Many vertebrates have teeth, and chewing (mastication) breaks up food into small particles, expanding its surface and mixes it with fluid secretions, which makes it possible to digest. Teeth are located in the mouth of animals, where the digestive process initiates.

2. The stomach, which resembles a bag-like shape, can either fold up when empty and expand like a balloon when it fills up with food. By doing this, the area of activity of the gastric juice is expanded, increasing the efficiency of the digestion. Food enters the stomach from the esophagus.

3. The villi and microvilli present in the epithelial wall of the small intestine, are fingerlike projections that greatly enhance the surface area of the small intestine. In humans, this surface area is 300 square meters and it is over this large surface that the products of digestion are absorbed.

At this boundary, crust is neither created nor destroyed.
salantis [7]

Transform boundary – this type of fault is found where two tectonic plates are moving alongside and parallel to each other mostly in opposite directions. This type of fault is also responsible for the rift valley and block mountains. No crust is destroyed nor new crust formed.

Convergent boundary – At this point, two tectonic plates are colliding because they are moving in opposite directions at each other. The pressure and stress of the collision force causes the plates to begin crumpling and folding at the boundary forming features such as fold mountains (an example is the Himalayas).

Convergent boundary – At this boundary , the denser of the two colliding tectonic plates (usually the oceanic plate) is subsided by the less dense one (usually the continental plate). The plate being subsided begins to melt as it does down into the mantle and becomes liquid rock. This magma rises through the fissures formed at the boundary and erupts into volcanic islands along the boundary.

What types of materials are expelled from cells during exocytosis?
alex41 [277]

Large molecules such as hormones materials are expelled from cells during exocytosis

<u>Explanation:</u>

The materials inside the cells are transferred to the outside of the cell and this manner is termed as  Exocytosis. This method is termed as a kind of active transport since it needs energy for this transformation process. One of the major purposes of this process is to discharge trash matters like hormones and proteins.

For a cell to cell transmission and chemical signal messaging these methods are essential. Proteins that are newly generated are transferred to the peak of the plasma membrane by exocytosis. There are three general pathways of exocytosis.
