Answer:

B) digestive

Explanation:

Gluten is a protein present in grains of cereals such as wheat and barley. Protein digesting enzymes secreted in the stomach, thus breakdown of gluten takes place in the stomach. Since gluten contains a unique chain of amino acid that causes the protein structure to fold into shape with a lot of “kink bonds”. Due to the presence of kinks, it is a difficult protein for our digestive system to break down completely.

What single feature is primarily responsible for the variation of climate throughout different times of the year?
konstantin123 [22]

The Sun is the basic source of energy for the Earth which affect the growth of all living things and the Sun also affect the all the biochemical processes. We know that the amount of radiation from the Sun changes day by day due to the distance of the Earth from the Sun. The rate of Solar energy affects the Earth in two ways.

The rate of solar heating which directly affects the processes like the evaporation and condensation and indirectly it affects the cloud forming processes of the Earth. The rate at which the solar energy reaches the Earth is called as the Total Solar Irradiance or TSI. This affects the climate of the Earth in many ways.

The change in rate of cloud formation increases of decreases with the distance of the Sun from Earth and hence a warm, moderate or cold climate is formed

It also affects the formation of winds due to the low or high pressure in the water bodies and hence affect the climate in the coastal areas.

The tropical areas have hot and humid climate due to the equator which has maximum exposure to the Sun’s heat.

Hence, the Sun is one primary feature that affects the climate in the Earth.

What is not a contribution of the cardiovascular system to other body systems?
Vinvika [58]

OPTIONS:

a) Blood delivers calcium and phosphate ions that are needed for building bone extracellular matrix.

b) Blood carries carbon dioxide to body tissues and removes oxygen for use by other organs.

c) Blood carries newly absorbed nutrients and water to the liver.

d) Blood circulates cells and chemicals that carry out immune functions.

e) Blood delivers clotting factors and WBCs that aid in hemostasis when skin is damaged

Answer:

b) Blood carries carbon dioxide to body tissues and removes oxygen for use by other organs.

Explanation:

Options a, c, d, e are all true statements about the contributions of the cardiovascular system to other body systems except option b which states that “Blood carries carbon dioxide to body tissues and removes oxygen for use by other organs”.  

Actually, the cardiovascular system works together with the respiratory system to supply oxygen to body tissues as blood is circulated in the body, while carbon dioxide is removed from the body at the lungs. <em>In order words, carbon dioxide is removed, while oxygen is picked up as blood is transported through the capillaries of the lungs. </em>
