Answer: food storage

Explanation:

The stomach is one of the important parts of the digestive system. It has three main functions to be performed in the animal or human body. It acts as a temporary storage organ for food which passed from the esophagus to the stomach, facilitates the breakdown and mixing of food components with the digestive juices by contraction and relaxation of the stomach muscles and finally aids in digestion of food.

Based on above description, the mechanical and chemical digestion of food by the stomach the other function includes the food storage.

Answer: Food storage

Explanation:

Stomach is a small pouch like structure which has the ability to store food temporarily.The storage of the food temporarily takes place in the stomach. The food that we eat reaches to the stomach by the help of food pipe.

Here, the food is stored until it is completely broken down into simpler form and enzymes act on them.

The food is then absorbed in the small intestine. But before this food is temporarily stored in the stomach where all the digestive juices and enzymes come to act on the food.

A 2-kg bowling ball sits on top of a building that is 40 meters tall.
Alchen [17]
Okay, so this is physics. What is the meaning of KE? It's Kinetic Energy. What is the meaning of GPE? It's Gravitational Potential Energy. So how do you calculate either, and what are their significances? Kinetic -> motion, Gravitational potential energy -> energy that can be used to do work due to gravity. So is the bowling ball moving, or is it someplace it can fall from, or both?

Kinetic energy is calculated as 1/2 * mv^2, where m is the mass of the object, and v is the velocity. Potential energy for conservative forces is the product of the force and the distance over which it can do work. Thus in the case of GPE, it is the weight multiplied by the height, as gravity is a conservative force. What is the weight? It's not equal to the mass.

Hopefully these hints will get you thinking.

HELP PLEASE I HAVE A WEEK LEFT OF SCHOOL I DONT WANNA FAIL
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

I am too lazy to do this, but I am assuming you were supposed to do this in class. I will give you ideas.

Why is soil important?  Soil is our life support system. Soils provide anchorage for roots, hold water and nutrients. Soils are home to myriad micro-organisms that fix nitrogen and decompose organic matter, and armies of microscopic animals as well as earthworms and termites.

What is soil erosion?  Soil erosion is a naturally occurring process that affects all landforms. In agriculture, soil erosion refers to the wearing away of a field's topsoil by the natural physical forces of water (Figure 1) and wind (Figure 2) or through forces associated with farming activities such as tillage.

what human activities are responsible for soil erosion happening at advance rates?     Ploughing, unsuitable agricultural practices, combined with deforestation and overgrazing, are the main causes of human-induced soil erosion

What are some effects on soil loss?  The effects of soil erosion go beyond the loss of fertile land. It has led to increased pollution and sedimentation in streams and rivers, clogging these waterways and causing declines in fish and other species. And degraded lands are also often less able to hold onto water, which can worsen flooding.

What can be done to prevent soil erosion?   Maintaining a healthy, perennial plant cover.

Mulching.

Planting a cover crop – such as winter rye in vegetable gardens. ...

Placing crushed stone, wood chips, and other similar materials in heavily used areas where vegetation is hard to establish and maintain.

Explanation:  Hope this helps and have a great day

What does it mean for a membrane to be selectively permeable?
maw [93]

Answer;

Semi-permeability means that only certain molecules are allowed to pass through.

Explanation;

-Semi-permeability is one of the features of a cell membrane, which means that the membrane allows selective movement of materials in and out of the cell; that is only certain molecules can enter or leave the cell.

-For example smaller molecules such water and ions such as potassium and sodium ions are able to leave and enter the cell, while other molecules that are large such as protein molecules can not enter or leave the cell.
