Biology

After food is swallowed it is moved down the esophagus by peristalsis. The muscles in the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine continue the process. Food is further digested and broken down as it moves through the digestive tract, aided by digestive juices that are added along the way.

Because global temperatures are ________[1], some species are seeking out ______[2] elevations in the Himalayas to colonize. Sci
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

increasing[1], higher[2], space[3], food[4], climate change[5].

Explanation:

Because global temperatures are <u>increasing[1]</u>, some species are seeking out <u>higher[2]</u> elevations in the Himalayas to colonize.  Scientists were worried that these organisms would not have enough <u>space[3]</u> to live, but they have found that there is adequate <u>food[4]</u> at higher elevations. This movement may help these organisms survive the effects of <u>climate change[5].</u>

(Although am positive about 1, 2 and 5, you will need to double check 3 and 4.  What I can tell you is that I don't think lifespan has to do with 3 or 4.  I chose space and food simply due to the thought that more species moving to higher elevations allows for less space to live, but more prey to be hunted easier.)
