Place the following events in sequence: A) Food enters your large intestine; B) Food enters your small intestine; C) Food enters

Anarel [89]

Answer:

The correct sequence is

1st step- Option C

2nd step- Option B

3rd step- Option A

Explanation:

Initially, when a person swallows the food, it goes into the stomach through a muscular type of tube which helps in the transportation of food items and liquids from the mouth into the stomach, which is commonly known as the esophagus.

After passing through this tube and reaching the stomach, the liquid and food items mix up with the juice that it produces, and eventually releases its particles into the small intestine. These transported particles are known as chyme.

As the food particles reach the small intestine, its muscles allow the food particles to mix up with the digestive juices that are released from the organs namely liver, pancreas, as well as the intestine and helps in the proper digestion of the food. The walls of the small intestine extracts the nutrients that are digested into the bloodstream, where the blood supplies the nutrients into the remaining parts of the body.

After the food is digested and nutrients are absorbed into the body, the remaining waste products or undigested particles are transported to the large intestine, where it extracts the water and converts the waste particles into the stool, which are later eliminated from the body.

Thus, the correct sequence is arranged above.

Explain some of the ocean’s other benefits besides supplying us with water.

mojhsa [17]

The ocean moderates the Earth's climate. Most solar radiation occurs at the Equator, whereas the poles receive little radiation. The ocean transport warm water from the Equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the Equator. The oceans provide a habitat for much of the marine life exploited by humans, such as harvested fish. The oceans act as a massive carbon sink, as phytoplankton absorb carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. The ocean also provides a medium for large scale transportation of goods through shipping. It is unlikely that vehicles as large as container ships could ever be transported over land.

Why are non-engineered or owner-built structures more vulnerable to hazards?

Bond [772]

Answer:

Non-engineered/owner-build structures are more vulnerable because they can be poorly built. Without proper knowledge to build the right structure, the structure is more at risk of abnormalities or destruction from hazards such as rain, hail, strong winds, and debris.

Does Ajay’s diet provide enough protein to meet his RDA of 0.8g/kg of body weight? (2.2lbs = 1kg)

Answer:

The correct answer is yes.

Explanation:

RDA or recommended dietary allowance refers to the minimum amount of a nutrient, that is, regarded as essential for the proper functioning of the body or to sustain good health. The RDA is formulated by the Nutrition Board of the National Research Council.

In the given case, the weight of Ajay is 154 pounds. In terms of kilograms, 1 kg is equivalent to 2.2 pounds.

Thus, 154 pounds will be equal to 154/2.2 = 70 Kg.

Based on RDA, the requirement of protein for a healthy individual should be 0.8 g/kg of the body weight. Therefore, Ajay needs to consume 70*0.8 = 56 grams of protein. However, based on his diet he is consuming 78 grams of proteins in a day. Hence, it can be concluded that Ajay is consuming adequate protein to meet his RDA.
