<span>Uracil is energetically less expensive to produce than thymine, which may account for its use in RNA. In DNA, however, uracil is readily produced by chemical degradation of cytosine, so having thymine as the normal base makes detection and repair of such incipient mutations more efficient.</span><span>

Describe the appearance of the inside of the stomach. how do the rugae within the stomach aid in mechanical digestion?
sergejj [24]
When the stomach is empty, the walls are folded into rugae (stomach folds), which allows the stomach to expand as more food fills it. 
In the stomach, food undergoes chemical and mechanical digestion. The peristaltic contractions churn the bolus, which mixes with strong digestive juices that the stomach lining secrete. The stomach walls contain three layers of smooth muscle arranged in longitudinal, circular, and oblique rows. These muscles allow the stomach to squeeze and churn the food during mechanical digestion.

Use your knowledge of relationships in a food chain, describe how a cow gets the energy it needs to survive YOU MUST USE THE WOR
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

All energy on Earth originally comes from the Sun. Plants use sunlight in a process called photosynthesis, to make their own food and provide energy.  This is why plants are producers, because they make their own food. Cows eat plants, namely grass. So, when the cow eats the grass, the energy from the grass transfers to the cow. This is why cows are consumers, because instead of making their own food, cows, like humans, must consume their food to survive.
