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.

2. describe three situations in which ionic reactions go to completion.
Travka [436]

The  three situations in which ionic reactions go to completion is formation of a gas,  a precipitate and a slightly ionized product.

<h3>What are ionic reactions?</h3>

It indicates the flow of electrons and, therefore, the bonds broken and formed in the course of the reaction. It is theoretical, it can be corroborated by experiments, but sometimes there is no consensus on the mechanism by which a certain reaction occurs.

Chemical reactions are the result of the transformation that occurs in substances, where atoms rearrange themselves, modifying their initial state. Thus, chemical compounds undergo changes generating new molecules. In turn, the atoms of the elements remain unchanged.
