Answer:

Mouth

Explanation:

The mouth is the part of the upper digestive tract where the process of mechanical digestion begins. Teeth breakdown the food into smaller pieces. With help of tongue, the food pieces are mixed with saliva which in turn is released from salivary glands. This process of mechanical digestion of food is called chewing or mastication. It converts the food into a soft, flexible, easily swallowed mass called a bolus. Food particles in bolus get dissolved in water to facilitate the chemical digestion by enzymes.

Differentiate between density-dependent and
Setler [38]

Answer/Explanation:

Density-dependent limiting factors are non living and biotic factors that affect the size and growth of a population based on the population density, while density-independent limiting factors are those factors that do not depend on the density of a population before they can have an effect on the growth and size of the population.

Examples of density-dependent limiting factors are predation, disease, Parasitism, competition. These rely on the density of a population in order to affect the growth and size of a population.

On the other hand, examples of density-independent limiting factors are pollution, flood, temperature.

How is the information stored within the base sequence of DNA used to determine a cell’s properties?
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

The genetic material of most of the organism is Dexoxy-ribonucleic acid OR DNA which are formed of the monomer unit called nucleotide. Each nucleotide is composed of a 5-C deoxyribose sugar, a phosphate group and 4 types of nitrogenous bases mainly adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine.

It is the sequence of these nitrogenous bases which determine the fate of a cell as these nitrogenous bases are read by the ribosome in the form of triplets called codons where each codon codes for specific amino acids. These amino acids bind to each other via peptide bonds to form proteins.

Thus, these nitrogenous bases control the important property of the cell.
