Identify the correct order of events that allow nutrients from foods to be used by the body. Group of answer choices digestion,
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is- digestion, absorption, transport, elimination

Explanation:

The process of digestion starts from the mouth with the help of enzymes called salivary amylase present in our saliva. The food then passes through the esophagus to the stomach.  

In the stomach, the food is broken down in small fragments by churning movement which mixes digestive enzymes and food to form chyme.  

This chyme is passed to the small intestine where several enzymes from the liver and pancreas digest the food in smaller particles and absorb these particles in the blood. Therefore absorption takes place in the small intestine.

Then the solid waste material left behind after absorption is transported from small intestine to the large intestine and from large intestine waste is eliminated out of the body.

Therefore the correct order are: digestion → absorption→ transport→ elimination.

What technology is allowing astronomers to study these phenomena such as star explosions, neutron stars, and black holes
Vanyuwa [196]

Phenomena such as star explosions, neutron stars, black holes etc. are studied with the help of extremely powerful and sensitive telescopes.

These sophisticated instruments are able to see more than our own eyes can. Thus, they detect wavelengths outside of those found in our visible spectrum, such as X-rays etc.

The most sophisticated telescopes are those that are placed in space such as the Hubble or Spitzer Space Telescope. In this way, these instruments are able to circumvent the Earth's atmosphere that may block the view of the sky. Thus, in space, they have the optimal conditions to observe and study in detail such phenomena.
