Answer: A
Explanation
The digestive tract carries out the function of peristalsis by moving food through the system. Peristalsis also removes excess liquid from the body. Chemical digestion breaks down food into small nutrients, but this process does not involve peristalsis. Finally, absorption of nutrients into the blood does not fall under the purview of peristalsis.
Fluorine (F) would be least likely to form a cation out of potassium, fluorine, chlorine, and nitrogen.
- A cation is a positively charged atom (or molecule) that has lost electrons (or electrons).
- The tendency for electropositive elements to lose electrons and produce cations is greater. On the left side of the periodic table, these are often metals.
- Going down a group increases electropositivity, or the propensity to lose electrons and generate cations. and decreases across a period. In the given examples:
- Potassium, K is an alkali metal and will lose electrons readily to form a cation.
- Nitrogen (N), Fluorine (F), and chlorine (Cl) are all nonmetals that prefer to accept electrons and form anions instead. F is the most electronegative i.e. it will gain electrons and form F- rather than F+.

In order to balance both of the reactions you need to make sure that both sides of the reaction have the same number of atoms for each atom in order to follow conservation of mass.
KCl+F₂→KF+Cl₂
Notice how in the above reaction there are two chlorine atoms on the products side (right side) and only one atom of chlorine on the reactants side (left side). you want both the reactants and products side to have the same amount chlorine and to do this multiply KCl by 2. Fluorine however, has 2 atoms on the reactant side and 1 atom on the product side. to fix this multiply KF by 2. <span>Therefore the balanced reaction is: 2KCl+F₂→2KF+Cl₂
</span>notice how both sides of the reaction have equal numbers of each atom.
Mg+HCl→MgCl₂+H₂
the above reaction has 2 atoms of H on the products side and only 1 atom of H on the reactants side. That means you have to multiply HCl by 2. Now you have the equation Mg+2HCl→MgCl₂+H₂. As you can see now we have equal numbers of all the atoms on both sides which means that that is the balanced equation.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions or need anything to be clarified.
The values of the coefficients would be 4, 5, 4, and 6 respectively.
<h3>Balancing chemical equations</h3>
The equation of the reaction can be represented by the following chemical equation:
ammonia (g) + oxygen (g) ---> nitrogen monoxide (g) + water (g)
+ 
---> 
+ 
Thus, the coefficient of ammonia will be 4, that of oxygen will be 5, that of nitrogen monoxide will be 4, and that of water will be 6.

Essential amino acids
Amino acids are the molecules that make up proteins when they are linked up. There are certain essential amino acids, namely they are <span>histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.
All of these must be obtained from one's diet. If they are not, the body will use existing proteins, such as muscle mass, to obtain them.</span>
