Answer:

There are several different ways to name it, but I always go by absorption, digestion, and metabolism/breakdown.

Explanation:

Absorption is the uptake of minerals, vitamins, and nutrients from your diet and your ingestion of water or other liquids. Absorption primarily takes place in the small intestine and anything that isn't necessary and vital for human life is then excreted through the urinary tract as urine and the remainder of the digestive tract as waste/feces.

Digestion is the process that occurs in the digestive tract which breaks down all food intake by mechanical and enzymical (stomach/gastric acid) processes in order to provide the body with all of the nutrients and minerals it needs to survive.

Metabolism is the breakdown of acids, fats, and enzymes within the organs in order to maintain life and promote production of energy. A healthy diet, cardiovascular exercise for 4-5 days a week, and maintaining good health in general is best to maintain a high metabolism and produce the most energy.

From an evolutionary perspective, what adaptive value do mirror neurons have?
Akimi4 [234]

Mirror neurons are said to be the factors behind social imitation. Neurons are the main cell of the nervous system which is responsible for communication of organs and control of many bodily functions. In an evolutionary standpoint, mirror neurons are an advantage because humans are able to replicate and imitate skills, behaviors and practices which they find beneficial and advantageous in the wild. Among their social peers, mirror neurons help these individuals practice social inclusion through culture, values and practices for increased group cohesion and cooperation.

For a not moving fluid, _______________________________ determines the fluid pressure. a temperature b type of fluid c depth and
zzz [600]

The answer is depth and type of fluid. Type of fluid essentially means its density. Denser fluid exerts more pressure compared to less dense fluids. Additionally, the bigger the depth in the fluid, the more the pressure due to the column of the fluid above. The following formula is used to calculate this pressure of a static fluid;

Pstatic fluid = ρgh      where;       

ρ = m/V = fluid density

g = acceleration of gravity

h = depth of fluid
