Answer:

e. absorption of monosaccharides

Explanation:

The oral cavity is the first part of the digestive system where food is received, crushed, mixed with digestive enzymes secreted at that level, and also where the food is turned into the form of bolus before it is being channeled down through the pharynx into the alimentary canal for further digestion.

The oral cavity is also a site for respiration and speech production.

It is made up of the teeth, hard and soft palate, tongue and other vital parts that play different roles in food digestion.

The function of the oral cavity does not include absorption monosaccharides.

Gnoma [55]

Double fertilization-plants with seeds (flowering plants), two male gametes joining with female gametophyte

Gametophyte generation-both (haploid, sexual stage stage-gametophyte, and the diploid stage that produces spores – sporophyte)

Endosperm formed-plants with seed because it is a tissue formed inside the seed which surrounds the embryo and provides nutrition

Mitosis-both (mitosis occurres in spores)

Spores develop into gametophytes-both but, in seedless plants sporophyte produces spores that will develop into a new organism (multicellular gametophyte) using mitosis, while spores of seed plants are produced internally and develop into more complex structures.

What are the steps of DNA Replication in order?
slega [8]

Explanation:

1) The enzyme helicase catalyses the unwinding of the two DNA strands by disrupting the hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs.

2) Single-stranded binding proteins attach to the DNA strands to stabilise them and prevent them from joining back together.

3) The enzyme primase catalyses the addition of a short primer consisting of RNA nulceotides to the DNA strand. This serves as an 'anchor' DNA polymerase to initiate replication.

4) The enzyme DNA polymerase synthesizes a new DNA strand by incorporating DNA nucleotides complementary to the existing strand. DNA polymerase activity only occurs in the 5' ---> 3' direction.

5) The enzyme ligase catalyses the formation of hydrogen bonds between the two new pairs of DNA strands, and seals any breakages in the sugar-phosphate backbone.

What is the difference of a solstice and an eclipse?
elena-s [515]
A solstice can be two things, the summer solstice and the winter solstice. it's when the sun reaches its highest or lowest point in the sky at noon, marked by the longest and shortest days. however, an eclipse is when the earth, moon and sun align together blocking the sun's light which is why it's called an eclipse because it means hiding/blocking. :)
