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.

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Jupiter

Explanation:

Jupiter is the fifth planet from our Sun and is, by far, the largest planet in the solar system – more than twice as massive as all the other planets combined. Jupiter's stripes and swirls are actually cold, windy clouds of ammonia and water, floating in an atmosphere of hydrogen and helium. Jupiter’s iconic Great Red Spot is a giant storm bigger than Earth that has raged for hundreds of years.

With a radius of 43,440.7 miles (69,911 kilometers), Jupiter is 11 times wider than Earth. If Earth were the size of a nickel, Jupiter would be about as big as a basketball.

From an average distance of 484 million miles (778 million kilometers), Jupiter is 5.2 astronomical units away from the Sun. One astronomical unit (abbreviated as AU), is the distance from the Sun to Earth. From this distance, it takes Sunlight 43 minutes to travel from the Sun to Jupiter.
