Answer:

a fuel for cellular respiration and a starting material for making other organic molecules.

Explanation:

Plants have the ability to produce sugars by the process of photosynthesis. Plants can convert the inorganic CO2 from the air into the organic nutrients such as sugars. Plants store sugars so that they can serve as a source of ATP for the cells as and when required. The sugars enter the process of cellular respiration and are oxidized into CO2 and H2O. In addition, the energy of chemical bonds of the sugars is used to form ATP molecules.

Plants also use sugars to synthesize other organic molecules. For example, several intermediates of Kreb's cycle can serve as precursors for the synthesis of amino acids. Amino acids are joined together to form different proteins.

Answer:

1st field: linguistic intelligence

2nd field: visual-spatial intelligence

3rd field: bodily-kinesthetic intelligence

Explanation:

There is a theory called multiple intelligence theory, which suggests that there are several types of intelligence differently proportionally distributed in every person. One of them is linguistic intelligence. Persons who possess it are extraordinary at using and understanding words, written or spoken. On the other hand, persons with visual-spatial intelligence show ability to memorize images, faces, details, also, they're aware of their surroundings and find it easy to orient in new and unknown spaces. Also, there is a bodily-kinesthetic intelligence. People who possess it have great motor abilities, especially fine movements, muscle coordination, body shape and strength which makes them great in using their body movements for expressing ideas, opinions, emotions.

What is digestion and how does it work

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Digestion is the breakdown of large insoluble food molecules into small water-soluble food molecules so that they can be absorbed into the watery blood plasma. In certain organisms, these smaller substances are absorbed through the small intestine into the blood stream.

Explanation:

Digestion works by moving food through the GI tract. Digestion begins in the mouth with chewing and ends in the small intestine. As food passes through the GI tract, it mixes with digestive juices, causing large molecules of food to break down into smaller molecules. The body then absorbs these smaller molecules through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream, which delivers them to the rest of the body. Waste products of digestion pass through the large intestine and out of the body as a solid matter called stool.
