Answer:

The correct answer would be B. Ingestion, digestion, absorption, elimination.

Digestion refers to the breakdown of complex compounds into simpler elements.

The process of the digestive system can be sequenced as:

  1. Ingestion: Intake of food from outside the body. For example, in humans, food is taken in from a mouth.
  2. Digestion: The breakdown of complex compounds into simpler elements. For example, polysaccharides, polypeptides, and fats are converted into monosaccharides, amino acids, and fatty acid chains and glycerol respectively.
  3. Absorption: The digested food is absorbed and transported to all parts of the body. In humans, the small intestine is the major site of food absorption.
  4. Assimilation: The nutrients are transported or distributed to all cells of the body where they are utilized for power generation.
  5. Excretion: The undigested food is then excreted out of the body. In humans, the solid waste is excreted through the anus.

When Mendel crossed purebred purple flowering plants (PP) with purebred white flowering plants (pp), what were the flower colors
zavuch27 [327]
The answer is <span>100 percent purple
</span>
Let P be dominant allele for purple flowers and p recessive allele for white flowers. So purebred purple flower has two P alleles and its genotype is PP and purebread white flower has two p alleles and its genotype is pp. Since P is dominant over p, when found together like in heterozygous plants (Pp), the flowers will express dominant allele and will be purple.
So, a cross between <span>purebred purple flowering plants (PP) with purebred white flowering plants (pp) will have 100% of the offspring with genotype Pp and purple flower color.

Parents:               PP      x       pp

Hey There

how are you

the answer to your question is

Acute time limited




Stressors can assume a number of patterns in relation to time. They may be classified as acute time-limited, chronic intermittent, or chronic sustained. An acute time-limited stressor is one that occurs over a short time and does not recur. A chronic intermittent stressor is one to which a person is chronically exposed intermittently; chronic sustained is continuous. PTSD is characterized by a severe stress response secondary to experiencing previous trauma.
