One of those systems is the the digestive system. By the help of this system the digestion and absorption of food takes place.

There are numerous number of enzymes involved in the digestion of the food released by various organs. The pancreatic and intestinal enzymes are secreted that work at alkaline pH, but the chyme that is secreted from the deodenum is slightly acidic yet they work together.

This is because pancreas pour enzyme into small intestine which is alkaline  and it then secretes huge amount of sodium bicarbonate which neutralizes the acidity of the stomach and makes the pH optimum for the digestion of food.

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Harm to downstream fisheries, due to sedimentation of waterways from increased soil erosion.

Explanation:

Deforestation is the reduction of forest area in a given territory, both because of nature or man-made causes.  It results in the loss of habitats for many animal and plant species, the destruction of natural peoples' habitats and livelihoods, and increases soil erosion and large floods in valleys. Often, a previously forested area becomes waste land.
