How do liver and the pancreas aid in the digestive process?

Biology
1 answer:
Mariana [72]4 years ago
4 0
<span>Both are called accessory organs, meaning they work together with the GI tract to break down food. The liver is responsible for producing a green fluid called bile that breaks down fats absorbed by the body. They are responsible for breaking down nutrients and storing vitamins and minerals that are absorbed from food. The pancreas is responsible for producing mixes of enzymes that are called pancreatic juice. This juice neutralizes acidic chyme that enters the small intestines. The pancreatic juice is responsible for helping the digestive system to digest proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. </span>

Explain how dysfunction at one level of organization impacts other levels and provide an example.
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

All living organisms are made up of four level of organizations namely: cell, tissue, organs, organ system and ultimately, the organism. These levels of organization are interrelated in such a way that CELLS accumulate to form TISSUE, TISSUES accumulate to form ORGAN, ORGANS accumulate to form ORGAN SYSTEM.

Since one level is dependent on a lower level, a dysfunction in one level will cause the dysfunction of another level. For example, a dysfunction in LIVER CELLS will cause the LIVER TISSUES formed from the cells to be dysfunctional. This dysfunctionality will extend to the LIVER as an organ and cause issues in the EXCRETORY SYSTEM (an organ system that constitutes the liver organ).

explain : in order to get rid of any effects of agricultural insecticides in the fruits, it is advised to soak them in a diluted
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

As we have studied in junior classes <em>that all animals including bacteria contain a plasma membrane around their cell which controls the movement of water and materials to and from the cell.</em>

The bacteria are the main hazard in pesticides and if we study about its structure, it contains both cell membrane and cell wall. Now another point in that bacteria lives in a moist or hypotonic environment in which the concentration of water inside the cell is less than the concentration of water outside the cell. This results in more movement of water from outside to inside the cell since we know that water moves from a place of higher concentration to a place of lower concentration.

Now when the water moves inside the bacterial cell, it can burst bacterial cell but thanks to the presence of cell wall which donot lets the burst caused.

So coming towards sugar solution, when bacteria are dipped in dilute sugary , the outside environment around a cell is sugary, and the concentration of water in the solution is less than inside the cell and water tends to leave the cell. the major effect of sugary solution is that it withdraws water from inside the body of micro organisms if the external concentration of sugar is high enough. When the water will move out of their body, they will die and their spores will not be able to germinate too.

This will eventually make our food (vegetable, fruit or any other) clean.

Hope it helps!
