Answer:

Liver.

Explanation:

The liver is a dark reddish organ that is situated in the right hypochondriac or upper right hand region of the abdomen, just below the diaphragm and anterior to the stomach in the epigastric region, the right kidney and the small intestines.

It is the second largest organ of the body, second only to the skin. The liver is divided into four lobes which include;

1) The right lobe

2) The left lobe

3) The quadrate lobe and

4) The caudate lobe

The blood supply to the liver include;

1) The hepatic artery

2) The hepatic portal vein which supplies the liver with nutrients-filled blood from the small intestine. It is the main blood supply to the liver.

The venous drainage is through the hepatic veins.

The nerve supply is through the hepatic plexus made up of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves.

The liver plays a major role in the processing and metabolism of food and ingested substances and also detoxification.

Read the following claim. Life on Earth could not exist without decomposers. What evidence from the article supports this claim?
ira [324]

Answer:

Explanation:

It's hard to distinguish facts/ evidence from the article with only the statement ' Life on earth could not exist without decomposers', but taking that into consideration, it's best if you breakdown the information so you properly understand what it means.

Life on earth - refers to evolution of life on earth such as single celled organisms, eukaryotes, prokaryotes, bacteria and so on

could not exist - refers to the inability of it being there, it's presence is basically there/ not there

decomposers - is an organism that breaks down organic materials from dead organisms to obtain energy such as fungi, bacteria, worms and so forth.

You basically need to relate all the information you find in the 'article' to the statement they have made and which i have broken down for you above.

Why is carbon a unique molecule?
poizon [28]

Answer:

1.Carbon is small and has four valence electrons; these factors combine into a unique structure that allows it to easily make a chain of carbon atoms. It creates covalent bonds — the strongest bonds between atoms. A covalent bond is one where atoms share electrons to form a bond.

2.But what makes carbon unique is that it can bond with other carbon atoms to create long carbon chains and rings. No other element is capable of forming molecules as large and complex as carbon based molecules (think about it—without carbon chains and rings, there could be no DNA!)

3.Because the carbon-carbon bond is stronger than the silicon-silicon bond, carbon compounds stay together in water while silicon compounds break apart. Besides this, another probable reason for the dominance of carbon-based molecules on Earth is the abundance of oxygen.
