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.

Write about how the group of rock layers in record a forme include tilting erosion and folding
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Most sedimentary rocks are formed in level layers. Therefore, the occurrence of tilted rock layers is evidence of mountain building. ... Tilting can also result when rocks are pushed upward, or uplifted. In some areas of the world, rock layers are so severely tilted that they may be bottom side up. Layered rocks form when particles settle from water or air. Steno's Law of Original Horizontality states that most sediments, when originally formed, were laid down horizontally. ... Rock layers are also called strata (the plural form of the Latin word stratum), and stratigraphy is the science of strata.
