Because the mouth breaks down the food and the stomach uses acid to break food down even more
zaharov [31]3 years ago

Answer: To complete the process of digestion after the food is ingested by mouth.

Explanation:

The food that we eat is ingested by mouth and here the mechanical degradation of food takes place. This breaks down the food into smaller pieces.

Mouth also contains the enzyme that is responsible for the digestion of starch.

Then the food from the mouth reaches the stomach where various types of digestive juices and enzymes are secreted to digested the food.

Hence, mouth and stomach must be near in the digestive system.

What does the potential energy diagram of a chemical reaction tell you
sattari [20]
By looking at the potential energies before and after the reaction, we can tell that the reaction is exothermic (final < initial) or endodermic (final > initial).

Also, the amount of activation energy gives an idea of the external energy required to initiate the reaction (for example, by heating the reactants).
Furthermore, by the same principle, we can also deduce the activation energy for the reverse reaction.

If a catalyst is available, the diagram will show a reduced activation energy, compared to a reaction without catalyst.  However, it will also show that the catalyst does not alter the initial and final energies of the reaction.

An apple is held completely submerged just below the surface of water in a container. The apple is then moved to a deeper point
Tresset [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the apple is held submerged in water , it experiences a buoyant force due to which it floats in water . One has to apply downward force to keep it submerged. The lower the buoyant force , lower the force needed to submerge it in water.

When apple is held at much deeper point , it experience greater pressure due to column of water around it . So its size or its volume decreases . But its weight remains the same . Due to less volume , buoyant force also decreases ( buoyant force is equal to weight of displaced volume of water. )

Due to buoyant force becoming less , force needed on apple  in downward direction will also be less.

A 50 kg skydiver is falling downwards and accelerating 6 m/s2 down. What is the net force on the skydiver?
Montano1993 [528]

Net Force = (mass) x (acceleration)  (Newton #2)

Net Force = (50 kg) x (6 m/s² down)

Net Force = (50 * 6) (kg-m/s² down)

<em>Net Force = 300 Newtons down</em>
