Newton's first law is: an object at rest stays at rest until an unbalanced force is acted upon it. An object in motion stays in motion until acted upon by an unbalanced force. Newton's first law is also called the Law of Inertia.
An example of this would be if a hockey puck was sliding on ice. It would eventually come to a stop because of the friction on the ice.
Newton's second law is: Acceleration is produced when a force acts upon a mass. A math equation gives us an exact relationship between mass, acceleration, and force. F=MA (force equals mass multiplied by acceleration).
An example of Newton's second law is someone kicking a ball versus someone kicking a brick wall. The ball has less mass, and therefore needs less force to accelerate it. The person kicking the brick wall can't make the wall accelerate because in order to break the wall, the person needs to produce more force.
Newton's Third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
An example of this would be when you sit in a chair. You are producing a force against the chair, and the chair is producing a force against you.

What is digestion? Starting from mouth, state the various steps involved in digestion <br>

Sladkaya [172]

Mouth. Food starts to move through your GI tract when you eat. When you swallow, your tongue pushes the food into your throat. A small flap of tissue, called the epiglottis, folds over your windpipe to prevent choking and the food passes into your esophagus.

Esophagus. Once you begin swallowing, the process becomes automatic. Your brain signals the muscles of the esophagus and peristalsis begins.

Lower esophageal sphincter. When food reaches the end of your esophagus, a ringlike muscle—called the lower esophageal sphincter —relaxes and lets food pass into your stomach. This sphincter usually stays closed to keep what’s in your stomach from flowing back into your esophagus.

Stomach. After food enters your stomach, the stomach muscles mix the food and liquid with digestive juices. The stomach slowly empties its contents, called chyme, into your small intestine.

Small intestine. The muscles of the small intestine mix food with digestive juices from the pancreas, liver, and intestine, and push the mixture forward for further digestion. The walls of the small intestine absorb water and the digested nutrients into your bloodstream. As peristalsis continues, the waste products of the digestive process move into the large intestine.

Large intestine. Waste products from the digestive process include undigested parts of food, fluid, and older cells from the lining of your GI tract. The large intestine absorbs water and changes the waste from liquid into stool. Peristalsis helps move the stool into your rectum.

Rectum. The lower end of your large intestine, the rectum, stores stool until it pushes stool out of your anus during a bowel movement

Cholesterol is an organic steroid in mammalian cells that controls membrane permeability and fluidity. How many hydrigens

Kisachek [45]

There are 46 atoms of hydrogen inside the cholesterol.

The formula of cholesterol is C27H46O, meaning that besides hydrogen it contains 27 atoms of carbon and one atom of oxygen.

Cholesterol can be found in large concentrations within the liver, spinal cord, and brain providing the stability of the cell membranes.
