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.

Its B.
 you eat it (ingest) it goes to your stomach (digest) then to your intestines where more nutrients are extracted(absorption) then to your and out your anus (elimination) <span />

A plate moves 200 m in 10,000 years. What is its rate in cm/year?
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

2cm/year

Explanation:

10,000 years = 200m

The question asks, what is its rate in cm per year?

So first we have to make sure the units are the same, i.e by changing the metres(m) to centimetres(cm)

1m = 100cm

200m = (200x100) <em>20,000 cm</em>

10,000 years = 20,000 cm

Now we divide the latter by the former. (cm/year) i.e, years by centimetres

20,000 ÷ 10,000 = 2

Explain how carbohydrates and lipids are similar/different.
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Carbohydrates and lipids are similar in that they are both sources of energy but they are different in the amount of energy they produce.

Explanation:

Carbohydrate and lipids are similar in the sense that both of them are  parts of foods consumed by humans and the two marcro molecules are good sources of energy for the body cells. The carbohydrate has to be broken down to glucose before it can be absorbed by the body cells. This is because glucose is the only energy source that the body cells can use. The lipid has to be converted to glucose through biochemical reactions such as gluconeogenesis before the cells can use it.

The basic difference between the two energy sources is that the amount of energy that they supply is quite different. Lipid contains more energy than carbohydrate; carbohydrate can only supply about one-quarter of the energy that lipid can supply.
