Answer:
            
            "Absorption is the process in which digested food molecules move from                the wall of samll intestine into blood or lymph"

Explanation:

                     Small intestine is composed of three main regions:

1. Duodenum:

                    It is the first part of samll intestine where acidic chyme from stomach enter and become alkaline due to mixing with bile and pancreatic juice. Chemical digestion of carbohydrate, protein and fats is completed here.

2. Jejunum:

                Jejunum is the site where about 90% of absorption of digested food takes place. It is lined with small hair like projection called villi and micro-villi. these villi are lined with blood vessels  (capillaries as shown in the figure) and lymph. After absorption of small peptides, amino acids, glucose and fructose, they reach to blood capillaries inside villi and micro villi. From here digested food particles are transported to liver and other parts where they are needed. 

3. Ileum:
             
          It is the last and longest part of small intestine about 12 feet long. <span>ileum contains receptors for absorption of vitamin B12 and bile salts.</span>

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d. "a and b".

Explanation:

Plenty of methods had been developed to estimate the body size of dinosaurs such as the gigantic Sauropods. One of the first estimations that paleontologists used was the  Archimedes principle, consisting in dunking the entire skeleton of a Sauropod into a pool of water and measure the water displacement or more precisely small dinosaur models. However this method requires the preservation of almost the entire skeleton. A more used and useful method is to measure the length of the legs from the hip to the foot and using a 2/3's power relationship convert that to a mass. This method is more used since it only requires a couple of leg bones, which are often well preserved.
