The Digestive System

Answer:

Digestive System

Explanation:

The digestion process begins in the mouth, where food is reduced to smaller particles by chewing and the action of salivary enzymes.

In the stomach, food particles are further reduced due to the action of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and protein-breaking enzymes.

After that, the food goes to the small intestine, where it acts the bile (from the liver) that reduces the fat particles, as well as enzymes that finish the breakdown of proteins and carbohydrates.  The <u>nutrients</u> are then absorbed and transported to the bloodstream.

Finally, the rest of the food reaches the large intestine, which absorbs water and forms the feces that will be excreted.

Natasha2012 [34]

Embryophyta is a clade within the Phragmoplastophyta, a larger clade that also includes several green algae groups. Embryophytes are the plants growing on land which include hornworts, liverworts, gymnosperms, flowering plants etc while green algae mostly thrive in aquatic environment.

The conduction of water requires vascular tissue called xylem. In green algae, it is not necessary to have water conducting tissue as the entire body is in contact with water. However in embryophytes, having a vascular tissue is an adaptation that ensures to provide water to the higher parts of the plant which is not directly in contact with the soil.
