Answer:

The colon.

Explanation:

The colon, also known as the large intestine is one of the major organs of the digestive system and plays a vital role in the processing of food and excretion of waste. It is divided into the ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon and sigmoid colon.

The colon has a large surface area and plays a major role in the reabsorption of fluids and the processing and formation of waste which it pushes towards the rectum to be expelled.

Diarrhea is a condition which is characterized by frequency of bowel movements and passage of loose and watery stools. It has various causes most of which affects the normal functionality of the colon thereby limiting it's ability to reabsorb water and fluids. Such causes which affect the colon include; Bacterial infections, laxative abuse, diseases of the colon such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease etc.

Describe the dna structure using the terms nucleotides, backbone, and orientation.
Alona [7]

The term DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid and contains genetic information in its double-stranded helical structure.

Explanation:

A nucleotide can be said to be the basic building block of the DNA molecule. Each of these nucleotides is composed of three components:

  1. A phosphate group
  2. A sugar group
  3. A nitrogen base

The genetic code contained within the DNA is determined by the sequence/order in which these bases occur.

The DNA backbone is made up of the sugar-phosphate nucleic acids framework. These groups occur in an alternating manner, in repeating patterns.

The structure of DNA is fairly regular, as in the following parameters are constant - orientation, length of the strand, width and number of nucleotides. These double-stranded molecules are asymmetrical, with the two disjoint strands intertwined with each other, connected by means of hydrogen bonds.

Green plants need light in order to survive. Structures in the leaves absorb light, which in turn, helps plants make their own f
Lorico [155]

Answer:

The correct answer is the green light.

Explanation:

Plant themselves have a green color pigment in their leaves called chlorophyll which absorbs visible light.

Pigments absorb mostly the red and blue color light and reflect green light. This the reason why plants appear green to us and least likely to make food. Most of the autotrophs contain this green pigment.

Thus, the correct answer is the green light.

The movement of water from ocean through the atmosphere and back
dmitriy555 [2]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>the movement of water from ocean through the atmosphere and back is called </u><u>the water cycle</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The water cycle describes the process that how water evaporates from the surface of the earth, rises into the atmosphere, cools and condenses into rain or snow in clouds, and falls again to the surface as precipitation. There are four main stages in the water cycle. They are evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection. The earth has a limited amount of water.  That water keeps going around and around what we call the "Water Cycle".
